USCIS Form I-485

USCIS Form I-485, also known as the Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, is a document used by individuals in the United States to apply for a Green Card, allowing them to become lawful permanent residents. This form is typically completed by those who are already in the U.S. and seek to adjust their immigration status, for example, after being sponsored by a family member or employer. Once approved, it grants the applicant the right to live and work permanently in the U.S. The process includes submitting personal information, supporting documents, and passing background checks.
