What is the process for changing or adjusting my status?

The process for changing or adjusting your status in Mississippi depends on the type of immigration status you are currently in. If you are in the United States on a valid visa or other form of temporary immigration status, such as a student or employment visa, you may be able to adjust your status either by filing a new application or by requesting a change of status. In order to apply for an adjustment of status, you must be eligible under immigration law and submit certain forms and supporting documents to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). To apply, you must also pay the appropriate fees. Depending on your circumstances, you may need to submit additional documents to support your application. If you are already a lawful permanent resident of the United States, you may be eligible for naturalization. You must submit an application and meet certain eligibility requirements, such as providing proof of good moral character and having a basic understanding of English and U.S. history. If you are not in the United States on a valid visa or other form of temporary immigration status, you may need to leave the United States to apply for a new visa. You should contact an experienced immigration lawyer to discuss your specific situation and determine what your best options are.
