Adjustment of Status — Green Card from Inside the US
Adjustment of Status (Form I-485) lets eligible immigrants apply for a green card without leaving the US. The wrong filing can trigger removal.
Adjustment of Status is the green card pathway for people already inside the United States. It is available only when a visa number is current and an immigrant petition (I-130, I-140, I-360) is approved or concurrently filed.
