π€ FAQ Spotlight: Can USCIS Still Adjust Your Status?
Yes, it is still possible to adjust status inside the United States. However, adjustment of status is no longer automatically granted simply because you were in status when you filed.
USCIS may evaluate the totality of your circumstances and consider positive factors when exercising discretion. These factors can include:
β
Family ties in the United States
β
Employment history and tax compliance
β
Ongoing education or business activities
β
Compliance with immigration laws
β
Contributions that benefit the United States
β
Evidence of good moral character
Applicants should also be prepared to explain:
β’ Why they chose adjustment of status instead of consular processing
β’ Whether any circumstances prevented consular processing
β’ Why they remained in the United States after their authorized stay expired, if applicable
Every case is unique, and a strong presentation of positive factors can make a significant difference.
