The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) permits the change of an individual’s immigration status while in the United States from nonimmigrant or parolee (temporary) to immigrant (permanent) if the individual was inspected and admitted or paroled into the United States and is able to meet all required qualifications for a green card (permanent residence) in a particular category. The common term for a change to permanent status is \u201cadjustment of status.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Adjustment of status is the process by which an eligible individual already in the United States can get permanent resident status (a green card) without having to return to their home country to complete visa processing.<\/p>\n

Consular processing is an alternate process for an individual outside the United States (or who is in the United States but is ineligible to adjust status) to obtain a visa abroad and enter the United States as a permanent resident.<\/p>\n

USCIS works with the U.S. Department of State to issue a visa on an approved Form I-130 petition. If approved, you may travel on the visa and will officially become a permanent resident when admitted at a U.S. port of entry.<\/p>\n
