We understand your great desire to become a permanent resident of the United States, and one day, a U.S. citizen. We can help you through the adjustment of status process and explain what you can expect. We help people who currently live in the U.S. under any type of immigrant visa - either a family-based visa or employment-based visa - to file for an adjustment of status from that of an alien to a legal permanent resident.

The ProcessGetting your legal permanent resident card is a long and complicated process. We offer full service support for the adjustment process, including vetting of the case to ensure that you qualify for the benefit and are not inadmissible in any way, preparation of the application package, preparation for the interview, and representation at the interview itself. We will explain the importance of the background checks and biometric appointment to get your fingerprints and photo. Attorney Ana M. Mencini will ensure your fees are paid and documents are in order, including the support affidavit. We will help you prepare for the interview at a USCIS office and ensure that your co-sponsor and petitioner - either your U.S. citizen family member or employer - are prepared. What if I am Illegally in the U.S. or Need to Travel?In some instances, it may be necessary to travel out of the country while your adjustment of status is pending. If so, we can help you get an advance parole, which is a travel document that will preserve your adjustment status application, although you should discuss any travel plans with an experienced immigration attorney before leaving the United States to ensure that you are able to re-enter the U.S. If you do have periods of unauthorized work or stayed in the U.S after your visa expired, you may be able to adjust your status under 245i. This is a special provision that affects those who filed for visas before April 30, 2001. Statute 245i is a very complicated and unique way you may be able to qualify for adjustment of status. Many people continue to qualify under this provision and are not even aware that they do so. Contact our law office today to learn more about the adjustment of status process and how we can help. |
