5 Questions Asked At Adjustment of Status Interviews

Adjustment of immigration status is a way for people already living in the United States to apply for a green card without having to leave the country. Then, if you’re eligible, you can apply to become a permanent resident. This means you can live and work here permanently. To apply for adjustment of status, you must fill out Form I-485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status and send it to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) along with some documents to prove you meet the qualifications. If your application is approved, you get your green card. And you can stay in the U.S. without worrying about your immigration status. It’s a way to become a permanent resident without having to go through the process in another country.

Adjustment of status is an alternative to consular processing, which requires leaving the United States and applying for an immigrant visa at a U.S. consulate or embassy abroad.

Top 5 Questions Asked At Adjustment of Status Interviews

An adjustment of status interview is a meeting with a USCIS officer that some applicants for a green card (lawful permanent residency) must attend as part of the application process. During the interview, the USCIS officer reviews the applicant’s immigration forms and supporting documents. They will then ask questions to verify the information provided. The purpose of the interview is to assess the applicant’s eligibility for a green card. It is also to ensure that they meet all requirements, such as having a valid basis for adjustment of status, demonstrating good moral character, and providing evidence of a genuine relationship (if applicable). The interview is an opportunity for the applicant to clarify any information and address any concerns raised by the USCIS officer.
