Adjustment of Status for Family-Based Permanent Residency

Adjustment of status is a process that allows eligible foreign nationals to obtain lawful permanent residency (Green Card) in the U.S. based on a visa petition filed by a spouse or other family member. To begin, the U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (LPR) family member files a Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, with USCIS on behalf of the foreign national. Depending on the type of family relationship, Form I-485, and Application to Adjust Status can be filed with the I-130 visa petition or once a visa becomes available after approval. The applicant must provide supporting documentation, including proof of the qualifying relationship, financial support, and a medical examination. An interview with USCIS may be required. Upon approval, the foreign national will receive a Green Card, granting the benefits of lawful permanent residency, including the ability to live and work in the U.S. indefinitely.

K-1 Visa and Adjustment of Status

The K-1 visa allows a foreign-national engaged to a U.S. citizen to enter the U.S. for marriage within 90 days of arrival. The process starts with the U.S. citizen filing Form I-129F with USCIS. Once approved, the petition goes to the National Visa Center (NVC) and then the U.S. embassy or consulate in the foreign-national's home country. The foreign-national fiancé(e) applies for the K-1 visa, submits documentation, undergoes a medical exam, and attends a visa interview. After entering the U.S. and marrying, the foreign-national spouse applies for adjustment of status by filing Form I-485 to obtain permanent residency (Green Card).
