Frequently asked questions

Can I apply for Adjustment of Status in any situation?

No. Whether you can apply for Adjustment of Status depends on each person’s immigration circumstances. If you need to determine whether you can file, consult a licensed attorney.

Can I work while it is pending?

Filing an Adjustment of Status application does not automatically mean a person is authorized to work. USCIS has a separate filing to request employment authorization in certain categories. We can prepare the documentation for the services the client contracts.
