What is the identity adjustment of the United States?

It is a process of identity adaptation for immigrants.

Identity adjustment is an application submitted by foreigners in the United States to adjust their non-immigrant status to immigrant status (green card status). Immigration to the United States, identity adjustment I-485.

In the past, applicants were only allowed to submit I-485 application for status adjustment if their application for immigration to the United States was approved. However, since July 3, 2002, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service has issued a regulation that allows the I-485 application for adjustment of status and I- 140 application for immigration to be submitted at the same time when the visa quota is available.

If foreigners are not in the United States when they want to adjust their status, immigrants cannot apply for adjusting their status in the United States, and they need to go to consulates outside the United States to apply for consular treatment, that is, (CP).

The greatest significance of identity adjustment is that it is the last step to get a green card. Once the application for status adjustment is approved, the applicant will obtain permanent residency in the United States. In addition, during the waiting period of I-485 application, the applicant can also apply for I- 13 1 re-entry permit and I-765 work permit at the same time.
