Changes of Status in the United States

I have heard about the adjustment of status process, but I have many questions. What are the main steps to go through, I am currently in the US on a visa and I am wondering how long the process takes, what documents need to be prepared and are there any special requirements for certain categories of people?

Hi, I want to help you with some advice and tell you that the process of adjustment of status in the US allows foreign citizens who are in the country to become permanent residents without leaving the territory of the US. The main steps are filing Form I-485, which is an application to adjust status, and preparing the necessary documents, such as a birth certificate, proof of lawful presence and a medical certificate.
