Adjustment of status is a process through which you may go from one immigration status to becoming a lawful permanent resident or Green Card holder. An adjustment of status takes place without you having to leave the United States and return to your home country. For example, you may have a temporary Visa that you wish to adjust to a Green Card.


If you are outside of the United States or still live in your home country, you must go through consular processing to become a lawful permanent resident in the United States. This can involve two or more status steps that require Visas and a Green Card. You should work with an attorney throughout the adjustment of status or consular processing. Both of these processes can be complex and require knowledge of U.S. immigration laws.
