Family Based Adjustment of Status

Welcome to our page focusing on the Family Based Adjustment of Status program. We at Usher Law Firm recognize the complexities and obstacles often linked to immigration issues. Our aim is to assist you in navigating through the process and understanding the nuances of immigration law.

The Family Based Adjustment of Status program allows eligible individuals already present, in the United States to apply for resident status (commonly known as a card) without leaving the country. This pathway serves as an option for those seeking to establish residency without having to go back to their home nation.

Eligibility for participation in the Family Based Adjustment of Status requires a qualifying connection with either a U.S. Citizen or a lawful permanent resident. According to immigration regulations eligible relationships may include;

1. Spouse of a U.S. Citizen or lawful permanent resident
2. Unmarried child under 21 years old of a U.S. Citizen
3. Parent aged at 21 years old who is a U.S. Citizen
4. Sibling aged, at 21 years old who is a U.S. Citizen

To apply candidates must be physically present, in the United States and have entered the country legally.

The process for obtaining a Family Based Adjustment of Status can be intricate. It typically includes these steps:

1. Submitting a Petition: A qualifying family member needs to submit a Petition for Alien Relative (Form I 130) to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

2. Waiting for Approval: USCIS will then assess the petition with the waiting duration varying based on factors.

3. Completing an Application: Following approval of the petition the applicant can proceed to submit an Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status (Form I 485).

4. Attending an Interview: The applicant will need to attend an interview at a USCIS office where an officer will review the application and make a decision.
