Matters needing attention in submitting I-485 to immigrate to the United States

As you are in the United States, you may be eligible to participate in the next step of the EB-5 application process, that is, to submit an I-485 application to adjust your status in order to obtain a conditional green card without going back to your own country to apply for an immigrant visa. The following are five things that we should pay attention to when EB-5 submits an application for identity adjustment.

1. Applicants who need legal identity and keep it.

In general, if you fail to maintain legal immigration status after entering the United States, and you do not have legal immigration status at the time of submission, you cannot submit an I-485 application.

2. Have an available visa, Form B and use your spouse's birthplace to avoid scheduling.

When your priority date (the date when American immigrants receive your I-526 application) is "Current", you can't submit I-485 unless you have a visa. The visa is issued by the State Council, USA. If your priority date is not the current date, you can contact an immigration lawyer to see if there are other ways to deal with it quickly. For example, see if the US Immigration Service accepts applications submitted according to the date of "Form B" in the visa announcement. In addition, if eligible family members were born in other countries, they are also eligible to use their spouse's birthplace to avoid arrangements.

3. Previous immigration records and the 30/60/90-day rule

When the Immigration Bureau wants to check the complete immigration history of the United States, don't be surprised if there are any false statements or inconsistencies before the immigration application or the DS- 160 visa application. This requirement is necessary for those who have recently entered the United States.

Please consult an experienced lawyer before submitting the I-485 application to avoid the possibility of any false statement. Please also note that ESTA travelers or those who enter the country through visa-free program cannot adjust their status; They must go back to their own countries and apply for immigrant visas at American consulates or embassies.

Of course, if you violate the application conditions, then you are not eligible to apply for this project. Relatively speaking, the immigration regulations in the United States are quite strict, and it needs to go through a very strict review before submitting an application for identity. This warns us that applicants must be rigorous and serious when providing information, and there must be no serious content errors. This will delay your application for immigration to the United States and cause irreparable consequences.
