I-485, Application To Register Permanent
Residence Or Adjust Status
Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, is for a person in the United States to apply for
lawful permanent resident status (often referred to as a “Green Card”).

You can only file online for certain eligibility categories
You can only file Form I-485 online as part of a concurrently filed adjustment of status package for immediate
family. If you are eligible under another category, you must file a paper Form I-485. Learn more about eligibility
categories.

1

Before You Start Your Application
Eligibility
You must be physically present in the United States to file this application. Additional eligibility requirements
for adjustment of status may vary depending on the immigrant category in which you are applying. Learn more
about adjustment of status eligibility categories.

You may apply as the person who directly qualifies for an immigrant category (“principal applicant”) or, in some
cases, as the spouse or the child of a principal applicant (“derivative applicant”). Whether you are a principal or
derivative applicant, you must file your own Form I-485.


Under U.S. immigration law, you are a “child” if you are unmarried, under 21 years of age, and meet the
definition of “child” found in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and USCIS policy guidance. You may still
be considered a child for immigration purposes even after turning 21 years of age if you qualify under the
provisions of the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) or other applicable provisions. Learn more about the CSPA.

Who May Not Be Eligible to Adjust Status?
Bars to Adjustment of Status

You are generally ineligible for adjustment of status under INA section 245(a) if one or more adjustment bars in
the INA apply to you. See INA sections 245(a), (c), (d), and/or (e). 

Exception Under INA section 245(i)

You may be able to adjust status under INA section 245(i) even if you are present in the United States without
inspection and admission or parole, or are subject to one or more adjustment bars at INA section 245(c). Learn
more about adjusting status under INA section 245(i). INA section 245(i) is not an immigrant category. In order to
adjust status using INA section 245(i), you must be eligible for an immigrant visa under a family-based,
employment-based, special immigrant, or Diversity Visa category. 

Grounds of Inadmissibility

Immigration laws specify acts, conditions, and conduct that can make aliens ineligible for lawful permanent
resident status. These acts, conditions, and conduct are outlined in INA section 212(a) and are called grounds of
inadmissibility. For more information on the grounds of inadmissibility for specific immigrant categories, visit
our USCIS Policy Manual page. If you are inadmissible, you may be eligible for a waiver of the ground of
inadmissibility or another form of relief. If we approve your waiver application or grant another form of relief,
USCIS may approve your application to adjust status, if you are otherwise eligible.

When Should I File Form I-485?
Principal Applicant

In general, if you are filing as a beneficiary of an immigrant visa petition (such as Form I-130, Petition for Alien
Relative, Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Workers, or Form I-360, Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or
Special Immigrant), you may file an adjustment application only after USCIS has approved your petition and an
immigrant visa number is immediately available. There are, however, some immigrant categories that allow you
to file Form I-485 before USCIS approves your petition (this is known as “concurrent filing”), provided that
approval of the petition would make an immigrant visa number immediately available to you and you meet all
other filing and eligibility requirements. Learn more about concurrent filing.

If you want to learn more about visas, you can visit our USCIS page for information on visa availability, or you
can visit the Department of State (DOS) page to view the Visa Bulletin.

Derivative Adjustment Applicant

If you are currently the spouse or child of a principal applicant, you may file Form I-485 if an immigrant visa is
immediately available to you and you meet all filing requirements. You may file at any of the following times:

At the same time the principal applicant files Form I-485;

After the principal applicant filed a Form I-485 that remains pending a final decision by USCIS;

After USCIS approves the principal applicant’s Form I-485, if the principal applicant is still a lawful
permanent resident and if, at the time of the principal applicant’s Form I-485 approval, you were the
principal applicant’s spouse or child; or

After the principal applicant obtained an immigrant visa and entered the United States as a lawful
permanent resident if the principal applicant is still a lawful permanent resident and, at the time of the
principal applicant’s entry, you were the principal applicant’s spouse or child.

Generally, USCIS cannot approve your Form I-485 as a derivative applicant until the principal applicant obtains
lawful permanent resident status. USCIS may approve an adjustment application for a U nonimmigrant, asylee,
or refugee derivative before the principal applicant obtains lawful permanent resident status.

Form G-325A, Biographic Information 

Form G-325A is no longer required. You do not need to submit a separate Form G-325A with this Form I-485.

Family-based applicants
Immediate Relative of a U.S. Citizen (Spouses, Unmarried Children Under 21 Years of Age, and
Parents (if the U.S. Citizen is 21 Years of Age or Older)) (Form I-130)
If you are an immediate relative, you may file your Form I-485 together with your Form I-130, while Form
I-130 is pending, or after your Form I-130 is approved. 

If the petitioning relative (your spouse, your son/daughter/or parent) became a U.S. citizen after filing
Form I-130 on your behalf, submit evidence of the petitioning relative’s U.S. citizenship with your Form
I-485. Visit our Checklist of Required Initial Evidence for Form I-485 page for information on required
initial evidence for Form I-485 for immediate relatives.

Note: Derivative applicants are not allowed in this category.
Other Relative of a U.S. Citizen or Relative of a Lawful Permanent Resident Under the Family-

Based Preference Categories (Form I-130)

Family-based preference categories include: 

Unmarried sons and daughters (21 years of age and older) of U.S. citizens; 

Spouses; 

Unmarried children (under 21 years of age) and unmarried sons and daughters (21 years of age and
older) of lawful permanent residents; 

Married sons and daughters of U.S. citizens; and 

Brothers and sisters of U.S. citizens (if the U.S. citizen is 21 years of age or older).

If an immigrant visa is immediately available, you may file your Form I-485 together with your Form
I-130, while Form I-130 is pending, or after your Form I-130 is approved. Otherwise, you may file your
Form I-485 only after your Form I-130 is approved and an immigrant visa is immediately available. 

If the spouse or parent who filed the Form I-130 on your behalf becomes a U.S. citizen while your Form
I-485 is pending, submit evidence of the spouse or parent’s U.S. citizenship to the USCIS office with
jurisdiction over your application.

If you are an unmarried son or daughter and your parent became a U.S. citizen after filing Form I-130 on
your behalf, you normally would automatically convert to an immigrant preference category as an
unmarried son or daughter of a U.S. citizen. However, you may opt out of the automatic conversion and
stay in the immigrant preference category as an unmarried son or daughter of a lawful permanent
resident. Visit our Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) page for more information on opting out of the
automatic conversion. 

Visit our Checklist of Required Initial Evidence for Form I-485 page for information on required initial
evidence for Form I-485 for family-based preference category applicants.
Person Admitted to the United States as a Fiancé(e) or Child of a Fiancé(e) of a U.S. Citizen

(Form I-129F) (K-1/K-2 Nonimmigrant)

K-1 principals who marry their U.S. citizen I-129F petitioners within the requisite 90-day period after

admission to the United States in K-1 status, and their K-2 children always have an immigrant visa
immediately available, and therefore, can file Form I-485 as soon as the K-1 principal has married the
U.S. citizen.

You must submit a copy of the marriage certificate to show that the K-1 nonimmigrant fiancé(e) married

the U.S. citizen (Form I-129F petitioner) in the 90-day period. This additional requirement applies to both
K-1 principal and K-2 derivative applicants.

Widow or Widower of a U.S. Citizen
If you are the widow(er) of a deceased individual who was a U.S. citizen at the time of death, you may be
eligible to file Form I-485.

If your U.S. citizen spouse did not file Form I-130 for you before their death, you may file Form I-360,
Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant, as long as you file Form I-360 no more than two
years after the date your spouse died. You may file your Form I-485 together with your Form I-360, while
your Form I-360 is pending, or after your Form I-360 is approved. Widow(er)s always have an immigrant
visa immediately available once Form I-360 is approved.

Your U.S. citizen spouse may have filed Form I-130 for you before their death. In this case, you may file

Form I-485 while Form I-130 is pending or after it is approved. If Form I-130 is approved, it will be
considered an approved Form I-360.

When filing your Form I-485, you should provide a copy of the Form I-797, Approval Notice or Receipt for
the Form I-130 filed on your behalf or the Form I-360 you filed (unless you are filing Form I-360 together
with your Form I-485).

If You Leave the United States While Your Application Is Pending
If you are applying for adjustment of status under INA section 245, and you travel anywhere outside the
United States (including brief visits to Canada or Mexico) while your application is pending, USCIS will consider
your application as abandoned unless:

Before you leave the United States, you obtain an Advance Parole Document by filing Form I-131, you depart

and return to a Port of Entry, and are inspected and admitted or paroled upon your return; 

You are an H-1B/H-4, L, V, or K3/K4 nonimmigrant who is maintaining lawful nonimmigrant status and you
return with a valid H-1B/H-4, L, V, or K3/K4 nonimmigrant visa (if required); or

You are a temporary protected status (TPS) beneficiary who travels with authorization under INA section
244(f)(3) and upon returning, you are inspected and admitted into TPS.

Penalties
If you knowingly and willfully falsify or conceal a material fact or submit a false document with your Form I-485,
we will deny your Form I-485 and may deny any other immigration benefit. In addition, you will face severe
penalties provided by law and may be subject to criminal prosecution.

Fee
We will automatically calculate the cost for you before you submit your application. For specific information

about fees applicable to this form, see Form G-1055.

Fee waiver: If the form you want to file is eligible for a fee waiver, and you would like to request one, you must

file by paper. If you are requesting a fee waiver, you cannot file online. You must file a paper version of both the
Form I-912, Request for Fee Waiver and the form for the specific benefit you are requesting. You can review the
fee waiver guidance at www.uscis.gov/feewaiver.

Refund policy: USCIS does not refund fees, regardless of any action we take on your application, petition, or

request, or how long USCIS takes to reach a decision. By continuing this transaction, you acknowledge that you
must submit fees in the exact amount and that you are paying the fees for a government service. Please refer to

the instructions for the form(s) you are filing for additional information, or you may call the USCIS Contact
Center at 800-375-5283. For TTY (deaf or hard of hearing) 800-767-1833.

Documents you may need
We will automatically determine which documents you should provide us as you fill out your application. At the
time of filing, you must submit all evidence and supporting documentation listed. 

You must submit all evidence requested in these instructions with your application. If you fail to submit
required evidence, USCIS may reject or deny your application in accordance with 8 CFR 103.2(b)(1).

If you are unable to submit the required primary evidence (for example, a birth certificate or marriage
certificate), you may provide secondary evidence (for example, church or school records) instead if you can
explain why the primary evidence is unavailable. If you cannot submit secondary evidence, you may submit two
or more affidavits, sworn to or affirmed by individuals who are not parties to the immigration benefit sought
and who have direct personal knowledge of the event and circumstances. You must also explain why primary
and secondary evidence are unavailable in accordance with 8 CFR 103.2(b)(2).

Biometric services appointment
USCIS may require you to appear for an interview or provide biometrics (fingerprints, photograph, and/or
signature) at any time to verify your identity, obtain additional information, and conduct background and
security checks, including a check of criminal history records maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation

(FBI), before making a decision on your application or petition. If we determine that a biometric services

appointment is necessary, we will send you an appointment notice with the date, time, and location of your
appointment. If you are currently overseas, your notice will instruct you to contact a U.S. Embassy, U.S.
Consulate, or USCIS office outside the United States to schedule an appointment.

At your biometrics appointment, you must sign an oath reaffirming that:

You provided or authorized all information in the application;

You reviewed and understood all of the information contained in, and submitted with, your application;

and

All of this information was complete, true, and correct at the time of filing.

If you do not attend your biometric services appointment, we may deny your application. 

For applicants and dependents who appear before an immigration judge, failure to attend a biometric services

appointment, without good cause, may result in the immigration judge finding that your application was
abandoned, and USCIS may also deny any other application you filed with USCIS.

Disability Accommodations/Modifications
To request a disability accommodation/modification, follow the instructions on your appointment notice or on
the Disability Accommodations for the Public page.

Selective Service
Most males between 18 and 26 years of age are required by the Military Selective Service Act to register with the
Selective Service System. Learn more on our Selective Service System page. If USCIS approves your application,
we will send your name, current address, Social Security number, date of birth, and the date you filed the
application to the Selective Service System for registration.

Have you had or used a social media account in the past 5
years?

Department of Homeland Security defines social media as the sphere of websites,
applications, and web-based tools that connect users to engage in dialogue, share
information and media, collaborate, and interact. Social media take many different forms,
including web-based communities and hosted services, social networking sites, video and
photo sharing sites, blogs, virtual worlds, social bookmarking, broadcast/push text
messaging services, and other emerging technologies.

The A-Number is an immigration file number provided by U.S. immigration officials. We use
your A-Number to identify your immigration records. It is a 7 to 9-digit number that begins
with an “A” and can be found on correspondence or cards you have received from DHS,
USCIS, or on immigration court records (for example, Form I-797, Receipt Notice; an
Employment Authorization Document; a Permanent Resident Card). If you do not have an ANumber, USCIS may assign one to you.

Provide a 7, 8, or 9-digit number. If the A-Number is fewer than 9 digits, the system will
automatically add zero(s) after the "A" and before the first digit so there is a total of 9 digits,
for example: A-001234567.

You will only have an Online Account Number, or OAN, if you previously filed a form that has
a receipt number that begins with IOE. If you filed the form online, you can find your OAN in
your account profile. If you mailed us the form, you can find your OAN at the top of the
Account Access Notice we sent you.

You are not required to request an SSN using this application. However,
you must have an SSN properly assigned in your name to work in the
United States.



If your employer uses E-Verify to confirm new employees’ eligibility to
legally work in the United States, the information you provide on Form I-9,
Employment Eligibility Verification, will be compared to data available to
the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and SSA. Employees must
have an SSN in order for E-Verify to confirm their eligibility to legally
work in the United States.



Note: USCIS will not share information with SSA if a Form I-485 is
subject to Public Law 106-553, as amended by the LIFE Act
Amendments, Public Law 106-544 (December 21, 2000).

your A-Number to identify your immigration records. It is a 7 to 9-digit number that begins
with an “A” and can be found on correspondence or cards you have received from DHS,

Provide a 7, 8, or 9-digit number. If the A-Number is fewer than 9 digits, the system will

Form I-693

Aliens electronically filing their I-485 application package, must open the sealed envelope
from the Civil Surgeon and upload the completed Form I-693. USCIS Officers will use the
uploaded version of the original Form I-693 from the alien to determine eligibility. Applicants
must maintain the original Form I-693 and envelope until a final decision is made on the
associated Form I-485. USCIS Officers have the option to review it during the interview or
upon request.


Getting Started
About You
Your Spouse

Upload the Form I-693, Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Record,
you received from your civil surgeon to establish that you are not inadmissible to the United
States on health-related grounds.


Your Children
Your Parents

Applicants for adjustment of status are generally required to complete an immigration
medical examination and submit a properly completed Form I-693 signed by a civil surgeon
to show that they are free from health conditions that would render them inadmissible
under the health-related grounds. If you are required to submit a Form I-693, or a partial
Form I-693 (such as the Vaccination Record), you must submit it with your Form I-485.


Your Siblings
Moral Character
Public Charge

Note: Even if you received a full immigration medical examination abroad, if the results
reveal a Class A medical condition, you will be required to complete a new immigration
medical examination and submit a new or updated Form I-693 with your Form I-485. 


Evidence
2" x 2" photo of you

Additionally, if there is reason to believe your medical condition has changed since your last
immigration medical examination, that any report of medical examination does not
accurately reflect your medical condition, or if there is reason to believe you otherwise may
be inadmissible under the health-related grounds, you may be required to complete a new
immigration medical examination and submit a new or updated Form I-693.

Information About Any Of Your Arrests

If you were EVER arrested or detained by a law enforcement officer for any reason anywhere
in the world, including the United States, and no criminal charges were filed, you must
upload:


Getting Started

An original or certified copy of the complete arrest report; and

Either an official statement by the arresting or detaining agency or prosecutor’s office OR
an applicable court order that indicates the final disposition of your arrest or detention.


About You
Your Spouse

You must disclose all arrests and charges, even if the arrest occurred when you were a minor.
An adjudication of juvenile delinquency is not a “conviction” under U.S. immigration law, but
a juvenile can be charged as an adult for an offense committed while a juvenile. If you were
convicted as an adult, there is a conviction, regardless of whether you were tried before a
criminal court or a juvenile court. An adjudication of juvenile delinquency could also be
relevant to the exercise of discretion. If you claim that an arrest resulted in adjudication of
delinquency, and not in a conviction, you must submit a copy of the court document that
establishes this fact.


Your Children
Your Parents
Your Siblings
Moral Character
Public Charge

In general, you do not need to submit documentation relating to traffic fines and incidents
that did not involve an actual physical arrest if the penalty was only a fine of less than $500
or resulted in points on your driver’s license. However, you must submit such documentation
if the traffic incident resulted in criminal charges or involved alcohol, drugs, or injury to a
person or property.


Evidence
2" x 2" photo of you
Government ID
Birth certificate

Note: If you are not able to obtain certified copies of any court disposition relating to the
arrest, upload all three items below:


Entry documents

A written explanation on government letterhead from the custodian of the documents of
why the documents are not available, unless the documents are generally unavailable
from the custodian of the document; 

A written statement from the applicant that explains why the record is not available and
describes the criminal charge, arrest, or conviction; the final outcome or disposition; and
any rehabilitation completed (including, but not limited to, compliance with courtmandated conditions (such as parole, probation, counseling, or payments), not violating
any laws, and making an effort to positively contribute to your community since your last
arrest or conviction); and

Any other secondary evidence that shows the disposition of the criminal case; or if
secondary evidence is also not available, one or more written statements, signed under
penalty of perjury under 28 U.S.C. section 1746 by someone other than the applicant,
who has direct personal knowledge of the disposition of the criminal case.

If you are unable to submit the required primary evidence (for example, a birth certificate or
marriage certificate), you may provide secondary evidence (for example, church or school
records) instead if you can explain why the primary evidence is unavailable. If you cannot
submit secondary evidence, you may submit two or more affidavits, sworn to or affirmed by
individuals who are not parties to the immigration benefit sought and who have direct
personal knowledge of the event and circumstances. You must also explain why primary and
secondary evidence are unavailable in accordance with 8 CFR 103.2(b)(2).

About You
Your Spouse

You must disclose all arrests and charges, even if the arrest occurred when you were a minor.
An adjudication of juvenile delinquency is not a “conviction” under U.S. immigration law, but
a juvenile can be charged as an adult for an offense committed while a juvenile. If you were
convicted as an adult, there is a conviction, regardless of whether you were tried before a
criminal court or a juvenile court. An adjudication of juvenile delinquency could also be
relevant to the exercise of discretion. If you claim that an arrest resulted in adjudication of
delinquency, and not in a conviction, you must submit a copy of the court document that
establishes this fact.

In general, you do not need to submit documentation relating to traffic fines and incidents

or resulted in points on your driver’s license. However, you must submit such documentation
if the traffic incident resulted in criminal charges or involved alcohol, drugs, or injury to a
person or property.

grounds of inadmissibility outlined in INA section 212(a), you cannot adjust status unless you
apply for and are granted a waiver of inadmissibility or other form of relief. Whether or not a
waiver or other form of relief is available depends on the grounds of inadmissibility that

Evidence Relating To The Public Charge Ground Of

Applicants, with one exception, are not required to provide any initial evidence relating to
the public charge ground of inadmissibility with their adjustment of status application. If you
believe that your institutionalization violated Federal law, including the American Disabilities
Act or the Rehabilitation Act, you must upload documentation to support your claim. If
USCIS requires additional evidence to determine if you are inadmissible under the public
charge ground of inadmissibility, it will issue a Request for Evidence and consider all
evidence that you provide in response.
