What are the requirements for an Adjustment of Status?

Adjustment of Status (AOS) is a process by which an immigrant can apply to become a Legal Permanent Resident of the United States. In Oregon, the requirements for an AOS are the same as those outlined by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The first requirement is for the immigrant to meet the eligibility criteria. To be eligible, the immigrant must have a valid visa, have entered the country legally, and not have been convicted of certain crimes. Additionally, they must not be inadmissible to the United States due to certain health, security, or criminal grounds. The second requirement is to complete and submit the Form I-485 Application. This form must be correctly and completely filled out and signed, and it also must include supporting documents such as approval notices, photos, and passports. The third requirement is for the immigrant to attend an interview with an Immigration Officer. During the interview, the officer will verify the information on the application and supporting documents. If the officer approves the application, the final requirement is to attend a medical examination. This examination will check for any medical issues that could make the immigrant ineligible for AOS. Once all of the requirements have been met, the USCIS will make its final decision and the immigrant may be granted AOS and become a Legal Permanent Resident of the United States.

Para ajustar su estatus en el estado de Oregon, se requiere que una persona satisfaga ciertos requisitos. Una persona puede solicitar cambiar de estatus si está en los Estados Unidos de forma legal, es decir que ingresó al país con una visa. Además, se requiere que la persona esté calificada para ajustar su estatus. Esto significa que cumpla con los requisitos para una visa de inmigrante y no haya cometido delitos graves, entre otros. Además, los solicitantes deben completar formularios oficiales del Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de Estados Unidos (USCIS) y presentar una prueba de antecedentes penales. Los formularios requeridos incluyen el Formulario I-485 y el Formulario I-130. Otros requisitos para ajustar el estatus incluyen tener buena salud, no tener problemas con la justicia y tener buenos antecedentes de trabajo. Finalmente, el solicitante debe proporcionar todos los documentos relacionados con el estatus migratorio. Estos documentos pueden incluir pasaportes, visas, comprobantes de residencia en Estados Unidos, pruebas de trabajo, pruebas de ingresos y pruebas de estatus migratorio. Además, la persona debe presentar una solicitud para una exención de deportación aún si se encuentra en un estatus de deportación. Aunque la USCIS evaluará la solicitud, es la corte de inmigración quien determinará el resultado final. Si la persona no cumple con todos los requisitos, se le negará el ajuste de estatus y puede ser deportada.
