An immigration process for converting a person who does not have a green card status to a permanent resident

Once the adjustment of status is granted, this person becomes the holder of a Green Card. The process often requires the assistance of a qualified Immigration Lawyer.

Green Card Eligibility Requirements

An Adjustment of Status commonly refers to obtaining a Green Card issued through the US Citizenship and Immigration Services. Immigrants seeking an Adjustment of Status must satisfy Green Card eligibility requirements to apply.

A person who is not a green card holder can obtain a green card status based on family, employment, or by having a special immigrant status, such as being a refugee or qualifying for asylum.
