Adjustment of Status Lawyer for Family-Based Applications

Family-based Adjustment of Status (AOS) is one of the most common pathways to obtaining a U.S. Green Card. If you are an immediate relative of a U.S. citizen or a qualifying family member of a Green Card holder, you may be eligible to apply for AOS without leaving the U.S..

At Kulen Law Firm, our Adjustment of Status attorneys specialize in family-based immigration cases, ensuring that your Form I-485 is properly filed, supported with the right documentation, and processed efficiently.

Green Card Adjustment of Status for Spouses

One of the most common family-based AOS applications is for spouses of U.S. citizens and Green Card holders. This process allows eligible spouses to obtain lawful permanent residency while staying in the U.S.

Immediate Relatives of U.S. Citizens – No waiting for visa availability; you can apply for AOS immediately.
Spouses of Green Card Holders (F2A Category) – Subject to visa availability, meaning some applicants may experience wait times.
Proving a Bona Fide Marriage – USCIS closely scrutinizes marriage-based AOS applications to prevent fraud. Our AOS lawyers help prepare:

• Evidence of a legitimate marital relationship (joint bank accounts, lease agreements, photos, etc.).
• A strong case for USCIS interviews to ensure smooth approval.

Adjustment of Status Lawyer for Parents and Children

Immediate relatives (parents and unmarried children under 21 of U.S. citizens) can apply for AOS without waiting for visa availability. However, proper documentation is required to prove the relationship.

Parents of U.S. Citizens – If your U.S. citizen child is 21 or older, you may be eligible for family-based AOS through your US citizen child.
Children of U.S. Citizens – Unmarried children under 21 qualify as immediate relatives, while those over 21 fall under family preference categories.
Children of Green Card Holders – Subject to visa availability under F2A or F2B categories.

Our family-based AOS attorneys ensure that your parent/child AOS application is well-documented to avoid USCIS delays or RFEs.

K1 Visa Adjustment of Status Attorney Services

If you entered the U.S. on a K1 fiancé visa, you must marry your U.S. citizen sponsor within 90 days to be eligible for AOS.

Eligibility Requirements for K1 Visa Holders:

• Marriage must take place within 90 days of entry.
• Must file Form I-485 with proof of marriage and financial sponsorship.
• Must attend an AOS interview with your spouse.

How Our K1 Visa AOS Lawyers Help:

• Ensure all documents (marriage certificate, Form I-864 Affidavit of Support, and medical exams) are accurate and complete.
• Prepare you for potential USCIS interview questions.
• Handle any Requests for Evidence (RFEs) that may arise.

Family-based Adjustment of Status applications require precise documentation and legal strategy to avoid unnecessary delays. Our AOS attorneys at Kulen Law Firm provide personalized legal assistance to maximize your chances of approval.
