Adjustment of Status

Aug 27th, 2009

Many immigrants, including spouses of US citizens applying for a marriage visa, can apply for their green card while in the US via the adjustment of status (AOS) process by filing form I-485 (I485) along with a visa petition such as I-130 (I130).

Did you know…?

A US immigration lawyer does more than just fill out immigration forms. Unfortunately, some immigration applicants do not realize this and complicate or ruin their cases by attempting to handle things by themselves. An immigration lawyer understands the complex immigration laws and how they will be applied by immigration or consular officials to a particular case. Red flags or complexities discovered during the immigration attorney’s case work-up would be missed by a self-represented applicant as the immigration forms themselves rarely point out potential pitfalls or problems.
