Adjustment of Status
(Green Card Application)
Introduction
Adjustment of Status (AOS) is the process that allows eligible individuals already in the United States to apply for lawful permanent resident status (green card) without returning to their home country. This pathway is often preferred due to its convenience and the ability to remain in the U.S. during processing.
Eligibility Criteria
- H-1B Visa: For professionals in specialty occupations requiring theoretical or technical expertise.
- L-1 Visa: For intra-company transferees who work in managerial positions or have specialized knowledge.
- O-1 Visa: For individuals with extraordinary ability in sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics.
- E-2 Visa: For investors from treaty countries who invest a substantial amount in a U.S. business.
Application Steps
- Employer Sponsorship: Most employment visas require a U.S. employer to sponsor the applicant.
- Labor Certification: Some visas necessitate a labor certification to prove that hiring a foreign worker won't negatively impact U.S. workers.
- Petition Filing: The employer files a petition with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on behalf of the applicant.
- Consular Processing or Adjustment of Status: Depending on the applicant's location, they will either undergo consular processing abroad or adjust their status within the U.S.
