Adjustment of Status (Form I-485) Preparation

What is adjustment of status?

Adjustment of status is the process some people who are already in the United States use to apply for lawful permanent residence (a green card) without leaving the country. The main form is I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, filed with USCIS together with supporting forms and evidence.

It commonly follows an approved or pending family or employment-based petition, but who can adjust — and when — is a legal question that depends on your situation. USCIS publishes the current edition and instructions on its official Form I-485 page.

OG helps you gather and organize what the package usually involves: identity and civil documents, copies of your immigration records, the supporting forms the instructions list, and certified translations. We also help you get ready for biometrics and interview appointments. OG prepares and organizes paperwork; we do not tell you whether you qualify, and you review, sign and file your application.

Frequently asked questions

Can you tell me if I'm eligible to adjust status?
Eligibility questions are legal in nature — we recommend consulting a licensed immigration attorney for that determination. We can help once you're ready to organize your paperwork.
Do you fill out the forms for me?
We help you organize your information and prepare the forms accurately based on what you provide — the final application remains your responsibility to review and sign.
Can you translate my supporting documents?
Yes — see our certified immigration document translation service.
What should I prepare for an I-485?
Identity documents, your birth certificate and passport, your immigration records (such as your I-94 and any approval notices), civil documents like marriage records if they apply, and any supporting forms the instructions list. We will go through your documents with you and tell you what to copy or translate.
How is this different from consular processing?
Adjustment of status is filed with USCIS from inside the United States. Consular processing is handled through the Department of State and a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad. Which route applies depends on your situation — see our consular processing page.
Do you file my I-485 for me?
No. We help you organize your documents and prepare the form; you review, sign and file the application yourself, and you attend your own biometrics and interview appointments.
