Adjustment of Status

Adjustment of Status (AOS) allows eligible individuals already in the U.S. to apply for a green card without returning to their home country. It’s a valuable pathway for spouses, employees, and other qualifying applicants—but the process can be complex, document‑heavy, and time‑sensitive. Aguila Consulting can help you navigate it with clarity and confidence.

While we are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice, we offer detailed document preparation and procedural guidance to help ensure your application is accurate, complete, and aligned with USCIS requirements.

Who Adjustment of Status Is For

You may be eligible to adjust status if you are already in the U.S. and meet the requirements for a green card through:

Marriage to a U.S. citizen or permanent resident
Employment‑based sponsorship
Family‑based petitions
Humanitarian or special categories (asylees, certain visa holders, etc.)

We help you understand which category applies to your situation and what documentation is required.

What the Adjustment of Status Process Involves

Adjustment of Status typically includes several key steps:

1. Filing Form I‑485

This is the main application for permanent residency. Accuracy and completeness are essential to avoid delays.

2. Submitting Supporting Evidence

This may include identity documents, financial records, medical exams, relationship evidence, and more.

3. Biometrics Appointment

USCIS collects fingerprints, photos, and signatures to run background checks.

4. Interview Preparation

Most applicants must attend an interview. We help you understand what to expect and how to prepare your documents.

5. Final Decision

If approved, you receive your green card without leaving the U.S.
