An Overview of the Adjustment of Status Process for Couples

The United States is a nation of immigrants, and as such, it is no surprise that many individuals from all corners of the world come to the U.S. with the hope of starting a new life, often finding love along the way. For couples where one partner is a U.S. citizen and the other is a foreign national, the Adjustment of Status process is an important step on the path to building a life together in the United States. In this blog post, we will provide a basic understanding of what the Adjustment of Status process is.

Adjustment of Status is a process that allows certain eligible individuals who are already in the United States to apply for lawful permanent resident status (a green card) without having to leave the country. This process is typically used by foreign nationals who are married to U.S. citizens or have certain family or employment-based relationships that qualify them for this benefit.

To be eligible for Adjustment of Status as a spouse of a U.S. citizen, the foreign national must generally meet the following criteria:

  1. Be legally married to a U.S. citizen.
  2. Have entered the U.S. legally, which means having entered with a valid visa or visa waiver program.
  3. Not have any disqualifying criminal convictions or immigration violations.

The book, How To Apply For A Green Card After Marriage To An American: A Step-By-Step Guide To Adjusting Your Status In The USA, offers very detailed information for those looking to apply for adjustment of status after marriage to a U.S. Citizen. The book provides step-by-step instructions on completing the USCIS forms, details about USCIS requirements, and a whole lot more information.

The Adjustment of Status process for couples is an essential step towards building a life together in the United States. It is a complex process that requires careful attention to detail, thorough documentation, and adherence to immigration laws and regulations. For those who successfully navigate this process, it can lead to permanent residency and, eventually, U.S. citizenship.

It is important to note that immigration laws and procedures can change, so it’s always a good idea to consult with an immigration attorney or visit the USCIS website for the most up-to-date information and guidance on the Adjustment of Status process for couples.
