Exploring the Qualifications for Adjustment of Status

If you are not eligible to apply for adjustment of status or you have questions about the process, our lawyer would be happy to address your concerns. It is our goal that you are kept informed of your options and are kept aware of what is going on. You may be able to go through consular processing if you are found completely ineligible. For example, those who have maintained lawful status here in the U.S. are the only ones who are eligible for family-based and employment-based petitions. There are certain specifications and other qualifications which we can discuss with you.
