Adjustment of Status Eligibility Requirements

Adjustment of Status (AOS) is a process allowing individuals in the U.S. to become lawful permanent residents (green card holders) without leaving the country. To be eligible, applicants typically must have an approved immigrant petition, be in the U.S. legally, and meet certain criteria, such as maintaining lawful status and not having significant criminal issues. They must also demonstrate a willingness to comply with U.S. law and may need to provide supporting documents, such as proof of relationships and financial stability. Each case may have specific nuances, so consultation with an immigration expert is advisable.
