Form I-485, officially known as the 'Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status,' is a vital document filed with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This form is a cornerstone of the EB-3 Unskilled Visa adjustment of status process and is specifically used to request lawful permanent residency in the United States.
The primary purpose of Form I-485 is to apply for adjustment of status to become a lawful permanent resident in the United States. Through this form, you can change your nonimmigrant status to permanent resident status without having to leave the U.S. This allows you to continue living and working in the U.S. while your application is pending.
Foreign workers who are physically present in the United States and meet certain eligibility criteria are eligible to file Form I-485 under the EB-3 Unskilled Visa category. To be eligible, you must have an approved Form I-140, indicating that your employer is sponsoring you for permanent residency.
The Form I-485 application process typically involves the following steps:
Step 1: Gather Required Documents: Collect all necessary documents, including Form I-485, supporting evidence, and applicable fees.
Step 2: File Form I-485: Submit your completed Form I-485 to USCIS along with the required documents and fees.
Step 3: Biometrics Appointment: After USCIS receives your application, you will be scheduled for a biometrics appointment to provide fingerprints and photographs.
Step 4: USCIS Review: USCIS will review your application, conduct background checks, and possibly request additional information or schedule an interview.
Step 5: Approval of Permanent Residency: If your Form I-485 application is approved, you will receive a Green Card (Form I-551) as evidence of your lawful permanent residency
Form I-485 is the key to obtaining lawful permanent residency in the United States. With an approved Form I-485, you become a Green Card holder, granting you the right to live and work permanently in the U.S. You'll have the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of permanent residency, including access to education, healthcare, and a path to U.S. citizenship.
Form I-485 plays a crucial role in the EB-3 Unskilled Visa adjustment of status process, allowing foreign workers to transition from nonimmigrant status to lawful permanent residency without leaving the United States. By understanding the purpose and significance of Form I-485, foreign workers can take a significant step forward in their pursuit of the American dream.
