Status Adjustment

Status Adjustment refers to the process by which individuals who are already in the U.S. (such as refugees or asylum seekers) apply to change their immigration status to that of a lawful permanent resident, often through a Green Card. This is typically done after meeting certain requirements, such as having resided in the U.S. for a specified period and adhering to any conditions of their initial status. The process involves submitting an application and supporting documents, and undergoing a review by immigration authorities to ensure eligibility for permanent residence.
