Los Angeles Immigration Attorney for Adjustment of Status

 

The Law Offices of Henry Haddad Can Help with All of Your Immigration Needs

If you have come to the United States on a temporary or non-immigrant visa, then you may adjust your status in order to become a lawful permanent resident. 

 

Adjustment of status is a process that allows those people who have been admitted into the U.S., typically on a tourist, business, or student visa, and who have remained in the U.S. to apply for U.S. Permanent Residency (Green card) provided they meet the requirements highlighted below:

(A) For individuals who fall under the Immediate Relative Classification.

You have not departed the U.S. since your last entry even if you have remained in the U.S. unlawfully for many years and have worked without permission. Or, you entered the U.S. unlawfully but an application was filed for you before 1997 or for a relative and you had derivative rights and you otherwise qualify under “245i” regulations.

You do not have a criminal record. `{`Requires a Waiver, generally.`}`

You did not receive public assistance of more than 12 months in the past three years.

You will be able to be productive or have enough assets to show that you will not receive public benefits in the future.

You relative is qualifies to be your financial sponsor or you may need to get a co-sponsor, if your relative cannot show that his or her income is 125% above the Poverty Guideline.

You have not committed fraud or misrepresentation on any prior visa application or other government application.

You did not have a pre-conceived intent to become a U.S. resident at the time you applied for your visa and/or entered the U.S.

(B) For individuals who fall under all other Immigrant Visa Classifications

You are not eligible if you have remained in the U.S. in an unlawful status for a period of six months or more or have worked in the U.S. without permission.

All other eligibility factors mentioned above will apply.

Your adjustment is based on qualifying for a specific type of permanent visa. It is important for you to remember that an adjustment of status will not be given if “negative factors” are found in your case.

Such negative factors include:

Fraud or misrepresentation in your initial application

Preconceived intent

Criminal background or other ineligible factors
