Adjustment of Status

For many immigrants, the ultimate goal of coming to the United States is achieving permanent residency, also known as obtaining a “green card.” At Wu Law group, our Attorneys guide clients through the complex Adjustment of Status (AOS) process, helping them transition from a temporary visa to lawful permanent resident status without leaving the country.

What Is Adjustment of Status?

Adjustment of Status allows certain foreign nationals already in the U.S. on a valid visa to apply for permanent residency. Unlike consular processing, which requires applicants to complete their green card process abroad, AOS lets individuals remain in the U.S. while their application is pending.

Who Can Apply for Adjustment of Status?

You may be eligible for Adjustment of Status if you are:

A spouse, child, or parent of a U.S. citizen
A holder of an approved family-based or employment-based petition (Form I-130 or I-140)
An employment visa holder (H-1B, L-1, O-1, etc.) with an immigrant petition approved
An asylum seeker or refugee after one year of being granted status
A diversity visa lottery winner
Other special categories as permitted under immigration law
