Becoming A Green Card Holder Inside the U.S.

Adjustment of Status - What is an adjustment of status and how can it help me obtain my Green Card?​​

​

• Immigrants who have entered the United States legally and are married to United States Citizens may apply to adjust their status to obtain Lawful Permanent Residence (Green Card).

• Unlawful presence, for example an immigrant who overstayed a tourist visa, and unlawful work are forgiven when you marry a U.S. citizen.

• Conditional Lawful Permanent Residence is granted to immigrants who have been married for 2 years or less to their U.S. citizen spouse at the time the application for adjustment of status is granted.

• While an immigrant is pending an application for adjustment of status, the immigrant is eligible to apply for work authorization. If work authorization is granted, an immigrant may obtain a Social Security number and a driver license.

• If you think you may be eligible for adjustment of status, you are welcome to contact the law office of Elizabeth Cuenca, P.A. to review your case!
