Adjustment of Status is a process that allows individuals in the United States to change their immigration status to that of a lawful permanent resident, commonly known as a green card holder. This process is typically available to those who are already in the U.S. and meet certain eligibility criteria, such as having a qualifying family member or employer sponsor. During the Adjustment of Status process, applicants must submit various forms and documents to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This includes proof of eligibility, medical examinations, and background checks. If approved, the individual can remain in the U.S. while their application is processed, ultimately leading to permanent residency.
