How to complete I-485
Application to register Permanent residence
or adjust status

The application for Adjustment of Status

More details will be available from AdjustmentOfStatusSecrets.com

I-485 forms may be obtained directly from USCIS or downloaded from our website

   

Adjustment of Status

Once the couple marries, USCIS MUST be notified in order to change the Fiancee's status from that of a foreigner visiting the U.S. for 90 days, to that of a foreigner now married to a U.S. citizen  entitled to remain in the U.S. indefinitely as a Permanent Resident.  The form to use is I-485, Adjustment of Status.  As soon as possible the I-485 should be completed and submitted to USCIS. When this is approved, her status is officially changed to that of a Conditional Resident.  She is  given a drivers licence sized id card confirming her permission to remain in the U.S. . This is traditionally called her "Green Card".

Don't plan to leave the U.S. for your honeymoon. While waiting for the "Green Card" it is best that the new spouse NOT travel outside of  the U.S. . After she receives her permanent residency she can travel freely. 

Advanced Parole:

There may come  a need for your Fiancee (now your spouse) to leave the U.S. before the "Green Card" arrives.    She should notify USCIS via form I-131 Advance Parole. This will allow her to travel, and reenter the U. S. and to obtain her "Green Card."  Should she leave without obtaining the Advance Parole before her Conditional Residency is approved, she may lose her eligibility for residence and be required to start the visa petition process all over again, this time applying for s spousal K-3 visa.  It is best she waits until the "Green Card" arrives.

 

Please be careful to complete this form completely, legibly and honestly.

Type or print in black ink.

    Expert Tip # 1

    Don’t attempt to game the system by applying for a tourist, student or employment visa for your Fiancee. Not only does this waste time waiting to hear that your Fiancee’s application has been rejected, but it will serve to identify your Fiancee as someone probably attempting to enter the U.S. under false pretenses. All Fiancee visa applications are initially viewed skeptically by USCIS with the underlying assumption that a possible attempt to circumvent U.S. immigration laws is being attempted. The USCIS mandate is skewed to preventing fraud, not to bringing happy couples together. Applying for a Fiancee visa after unsuccessfully applying for other visas will subject your Fiancee to extra scrutiny and delays at best, an outright rejection at worse.
