Have you applied for permanent residency in San Francisco? If so, there’s another step to the process you may not know. Since you’ve filed for a green card, you obviously want to remain in the United States. However, without filing for an adjustment of status, you could unknowingly be putting your immigration status at risk. You want to protect your rights, but maybe you don’t know how to do so.
MyImmigration can help ensure you don’t lose your right to stay in the country.
Unless you’re an expert in immigration law, knowing exactly what to do and how to do it when dealing with USCIS can be both confusing and frustrating. This is of utmost importance when protecting your immigration status after filing for a green card.
Let us assist you with filing for an adjustment of status to ensure that your current immigration status is safe and secure.
Individuals who are in the United States on a visa who apply for permanent residency, in most cases, will need to file for an adjustment of status. Unfortunately, the process for getting a green card is timely and could take well over a year. During that time, an individual’s visa status could change or expire; when that happens, they’ll need to leave the country. However, filing for an adjustment of status “stops the clock” on their visa’s timeframe and allows them to remain legally in the country while waiting for their residency application to be processed.
There are a few different scenarios where one would need to file for an adjustment of status. Each scenario will need to be handled differently, and this is where a lot of the confusion about how this is done comes into play. Here’s a look at some different scenarios and how each one is handled.
Individuals seeking employment-based residency need to work together with their employer.
The parents, spouses, and children of United States citizens who’ve applied for a green card must file the following forms:
If the immigrant filing for permanent residency is within the United States, both forms can be submitted at the same time.
Anyone who has entered the United States on a K-1 visa must adjust their status to stay in the country while waiting for their green card approval.
It can be tricky to know when and how to file for an adjustment of status, and with each immigration scenario requiring different steps, this just adds to the confusion. Filing incorrectly or not in the proper sequence can cause problems and headaches.
