Adjustment of Status Lawyer

Helping Eligible Immigrants Apply for Lawful Permanent Residency

For many immigrants already living in the United States, Adjustment of Status provides a pathway to apply for a green card without leaving the country for consular processing.

However, determining eligibility and preparing a successful application requires careful attention to immigration laws, documentation requirements, and filing procedures.

At Edwards & Edwards, P.A., we help individuals and families understand whether Adjustment of Status is the right option and provide guidance throughout the process of seeking lawful permanent residency.

What Is Adjustment of Status?

Adjustment of Status is the process of applying for a green card from within the United States. Instead of completing the immigration process through a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad, eligible applicants may be able to adjust their status while remaining in the country.

This process allows qualifying individuals to transition from a temporary immigration status to lawful permanent resident status.

Who May Qualify for Adjustment of Status?

Eligibility depends on several factors, including immigration history, method of entry into the United States, family relationships, and available immigrant visa categories.

Some individuals who may qualify include those who:

• Have an approved immigrant petition 
• Are eligible through a family-based relationship 
• Entered the United States lawfully 
• Have an available immigrant visa 

Because every immigration situation is different, reviewing your circumstances with an experienced immigration attorney is an important first step.

The Adjustment of Status Process

Applying for a green card involves more than submitting paperwork. Applicants must provide evidence, meet eligibility requirements, and respond to any questions raised by U.S. immigration authorities.

The process may involve:

• Filing an Adjustment of Status application 
• Submitting supporting documentation 
• Completing required medical examinations 
• Attending a USCIS interview 
• Responding to requests for additional evidence
