Adjustment of Status in Queens, NY.
Adjustment of status is how an eligible person already inside the United States becomes a lawful permanent resident without returning to their home country for a consular interview. Eligibility is technical and it is where cases are most often lost before they start, so the first thing we do is confirm you actually qualify, then build the filing around that.
- Eligibility reviewed before a dollar is spent on filing
- Complete application packages, not partial filings
- Work permit and travel document filed alongside where appropriate
- Requests for evidence answered thoroughly and on time
- Interview preparation included as the case approaches decision
Common questions
Can I stay in the country while my case is pending?
A properly filed adjustment application generally allows you to remain while it is pending, and often to apply for work authorization. That protection depends on the filing being valid, which is exactly why eligibility gets checked first.
Can I work or travel while I wait?
Employment authorization and advance parole are usually requested together with the main application. Travel before that document is approved can be risky and in some situations can abandon the application, so speak to us before you book anything.
What if USCIS sends a request for evidence?
It is common and it is not a denial. It means the officer wants more documentation. We prepare the response with you and file it inside the deadline. Missing that deadline is one of the few things that turns a fixable case into a denied one.
