ADJUSTMENT
OF STATUS INFO
| What
is Adjustment of status |
Adjustment
of status (AOS) is a procedure that allows an eligible
applicant to become a lawful permanent resident (LPR)
of the United States without need of applying for an immigrant
visa outside the U.S.
Effective
July 31, 2002, the USCIS (formerly INS) allowed the concurrent
filing of an I-485 adjustment of status application with
an I-140 immigration petition, if visa quota has not been
reached at the time of filing.
