If you are currently in the United States, in order to be eligible for a Green Card as an immediate relative, you must meet the following requirements:

Inspected and Admitted or Inspected and Paroled
Generally, to be eligible to adjust status, you must be present in the United States after being “inspected and admitted” or “inspected and paroled” by an immigration officer. There are some limited exceptions to this eligibility requirement.

• You are physically present in the United States at the time you file your Form I-485;

• You are eligible to receive an immigrant visa;

• An immigrant visa is immediately available to you at the time you file your Form I-485 and at the time USCIS makes a final decision on your application;

  • Note: A visa is always available for immediate relatives.

• The relationship to the family member who filed Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, for you still exists;

• None of the applicable bars to adjustment apply to you;

• You are admissible to the United States for lawful permanent residence or eligible for a waiver of inadmissibility or other form of relief; and

• You merit the favorable exercise of USCIS’ discretion.
