Bars to Adjustment and Grounds of Inadmissibility

Bars to Adjustment 

In general, you are not eligible for adjustment of status based on INA section 245(a) if any of the adjustment bars
apply to you. See INA section 245(a) and (c) for more information on these adjustment bars, including whether
an exemption might apply to you. 

If one or more of the below adjustment bars applies to you and you are not exempt under INA sections 245(a),
(c), or (k), you must qualify under INA section 245(i) to adjust. 

You last entered the United States without being admitted or paroled after inspection by an immigration
officer;

You last entered the United States as a nonimmigrant crewman;

You are now employed or have ever been employed in the United States without authorization;

You are not in lawful immigration status on the date of filing your application for adjustment of status;

You have at any time failed to continuously maintain a lawful status since entry into the United States,
unless your failure to maintain status was through no fault of your own or for technical reasons;

You were last admitted to the United States in transit without a visa;

You were last admitted to the United States as a nonimmigrant visitor without a visa, under the Guam and
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Visa Waiver Program, and you are not a Canadian citizen;

You were last admitted to the United States as a nonimmigrant visitor without a visa under the Visa Waiver
Program;

You are seeking employment-based adjustment of status, and you are not maintaining a lawful
nonimmigrant status on the date of filing your application for adjustment of status; or

You have ever violated the terms of your nonimmigrant status. 

Note: If the bars do not apply to you or you are exempt, then you do not need to adjust under INA section 245(i)
and you should not file Supplement A. 

Grounds of Inadmissibility 

If you are inadmissible to the United States, you may not adjust to lawful permanent resident status. You can
find more information at our the grounds of inadmissibility page listed in INA section 212(a).

Qualifying Immigrant Petitions Under INA Section 245(i)
You may use one of these petitions or applications to qualify under INA section 245(i), if it was properly filed
and approvable when filed on or before April 30, 2001:

Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative;

Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker;

Form I-360, Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant (including VAWA self-petitioners);

Form I-526, Immigrant Petition by Alien Investor; or

Form ETA-750, Application for Alien Employment Certification, Parts A and B.

If you are using an immigrant petition to show that you qualify for adjustment under INA section 245(i), provide
the receipt number of the petition in the Getting Started section (if available). If you are using a permanent labor
certification application to qualify, you do not need to complete that question in the Getting Started section. 

Note: If you use one of the petitions listed in this section to qualify to apply under INA section 245(i), you may be
able to use the same petition to establish eligibility for an immigrant visa, or you may establish eligibility for an
immigrant visa based on another petition or on being selected for a Diversity Visa for the current fiscal year.

Immigration court proceedings
If you are in proceedings in Immigration Court (that is, if you have been served with Form I-221, Order to Show
Cause and Notice of Hearing; Form I-122, Notice to Applicant for Admission Detained for Hearing Before an
Immigration Judge; Form I-862, Notice to Appear; or Form I-863, Notice of Referral to Immigration Judge, that
DHS filed with the Immigration Court), you should file this supplement with the appropriate Immigration Court.
The DHS attorney will provide you with pre-order filing instructions regarding background and security
investigations. You must also submit a copy to USCIS. Please see the Immigration Benefits in EOIR Removal
Proceedings webpage or visit the USCIS Contact Center’s website for the most current information about where
to file the copy of the application that you file with the Immigration Court.

Penalties
If you knowingly and willfully falsify or conceal a material fact or submit a false document with your Supplement
A, we will deny your Supplement A 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 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.

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.

You provided or authorized all information in the supplement; 

You reviewed and understood all of the information contained in, and submitted with, your supplement; 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 supplement. 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
To request a disability accommodation/modification, follow the instructions on your appointment notice or on
the Disability Accommodations for the Public page.

Translations
If you submit a document with information in a foreign language, you must also submit a full English

Under Section 245(i)

Evidence Of Petition's Or Application's Approval Or Approvable Status
Upload evidence showing that the qualifying petition or application was approvable when filed. An
immigrant petition or labor certification application is considered approvable when filed if:

Getting Started

T he petition or application was properly filed; 

The petition or application was meritorious in fact; and 

The petition or application was not frivolous (“frivolous” meaning patently without substance).

About You
Evidence

Unless contradictory evidence exists, a final decision approving the required petition or application shows
that the petition or application was approvable when filed. Such an approval consists of:

Qualifying petition or
application

An I NS approval notice (on Form I-797) for the immigrant petition; or

A U.S. Department of Labor certification stamp (on Form ETA-750) for the permanent labor certification
application.

Evidence of proper filing
Evidence of approval or
approvable status

Absent an approved petition, you may upload any relevant evidence to show the petition or application was
properly filed and approvable when filed. USCIS makes this determination based on the circumstances that
existed at the time the qualifying petition or application was filed. A petition or application that was
approvable when filed but was later withdrawn, denied, or revoked due to circumstances that arose after
the time of filing may still qualify you for INA section 245(i) adjustment if you are otherwise eligible.

supporting documentation. USCIS will evaluate all documentation on a case-by-case basis.
