Can I Adjust my Status?

Posted by Andrew Gilliland | Oct 17, 2024 | 0 Comments

The basic qualifications for applying for Adjustment of Status are:

·      You have an approved I-130 Petition.

·      You came into the United States legally meaning that you were inspected and admitted.  If not, you may have to apply for a waiver or parole in place (assuming this remains an option). 

·      A Visa is available for you.  If you married an immediate relative of a U.S. Citizen, A Visa is always available for you.  If you are in a preference category, your priority date must be current. 

·      You are not admissible.   The application for Adjustment of Status asks a long list of questions designed to verify that you are not inadmissible.  If you get an interview, you will usually be asked these same questions. 

There are several other nuances that your need to consider, but these are the general requirements.   Typically, you file for your I-130 and Adjustment of Status at the same time along with an application for Employment Authorization.   There is a separate fee for each application.  To put yourself in the best position for success, in addition to the required evidence, you will want to provide evidence to show that you qualify for Adjustment of Status.  I can help you with the process of Adjusting of Status.  Please use this link https://calendly.com/andrew-2rw/immigration-consultation  to set up a free 30 minute virtual consultation.
