For many individuals already living in the United States on a temporary visa, the dream of becoming a lawful permanent resident can feel within reach. The Adjustment of Status (AOS) process offers a direct path to obtaining a green card without having to leave the country. At Delgado Rompf Bruen LLC, we provide the guidance and compassionate support necessary, helping you secure your future in the U.S.
Adjustment of Status is the process that allows an eligible individual who is physically present in the United States to apply for lawful permanent resident status (a green card). This is a significant advantage, as it avoids the need to return to your home country to complete visa processing at a U.S. consulate. Eligibility often depends on your current immigration status, how you entered the country, and the basis of your green card application, such as through family sponsorship or employment.
Yes, in most cases. When you file your Adjustment of Status application, you can also apply for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) and a travel document (Advance Parole). This allows you to work legally and travel internationally while your green card application is pending, providing critical stability for you and your family.
Navigating the AOS process requires careful attention to detail and adherence to strict timelines. While each case is unique, the general steps include:
Documentation is crucial for a successful application. While specific requirements vary by case, common documents include:

I had the pleasure of working with Marta Delgado for my immigration petition. From the moment I met with Marta, I felt confident she was the attorney I was looking for after many years of waiting. I was so nervous going into this process, but Marta walked me through the details more than once, giving me so much peace about it all. The process was seamless, and their turnaround time was QUICK! My whole case was started and closed within 10 months. I will always be grateful for their expertise and kindness along the way.
What a wonderful experience I had with Elizabeth and her team. Her professionalism made me feel at ease and comfortable throughout the process we went through. Thank you so much, Elizabeth!
I went through my Green Card and Citizenship applications with Elizabeth Rompf and every step of the way was fantastic. Incredibly professional, prompt, clear, and very attentive to details. I cannot recommend them enough! They're my absolute top pick for any immigration recommendations!
DRB helped us with securing a work visa for one of our staff members, communicated well, and helped explain the process.
I am full of gratitude while writing this review for Delgado Rompf Bruen Law. Thank you so much Marta for handling my case so beautifully. It has been only your diligence and professionalism in the work which guided my case to success. I am very fortunate to have you as an attorney. With other attorneys I've experienced ones who only took my money and promised to help me or never called me back. You're helping a lot of people with your honesty and great quality of work. I can't thank you enough. Yay, I am an American Citizen!
Elizabeth and her legal team were extremely helpful in my husband's green card case. They had us so prepared that the interview was a piece of cake. We didn't have a single issue. They were quick to reply to any questions we had and were very honest with us about any possible issues we could have. I would highly recommend her and her team.
I began working with Martha after a decade of having my immigration process handled by attorneys that worked for my employers and everything changed immediately. Martha was invested in my personal story and circumstances and took all the time I needed to talk me through the options and process. She was consistently professional, knowledgable, and compassionate. She even leveraged her network to get specific information about my interview site in the Bay Area which was invaluable the day of my naturalization interview. She's the BEST.
I've struggle for over 10 years to get my Permanent Resident status and have been represented by 4 immigration lawyers over that period. The last one I hired and who was able to resolve my immigration case is Elizabeth Rompf Bruen. The contrast of how she handled my case and the other 3 lawyers was obvious from the beginning. She was always available when I wanted to talk to her and provided the updates in my case as soon as she had one. I also noticed a different level of knowledge and expertise in comparison to the other 3 lawyers....
Marta was the most professional, accurate and caring lawyer I’ve encountered in the 6 years I’ve been living in the US, her work ethics are unmatched and without doubt was the best decision for my process. I recommend her to anyone that needs help, you will feel listened and she is incredible when it comes to explaining this procedures in a simple and straight forward manner. She will be my first option again when the time comes in the future.
Elizabeth has been my immigration attorney on multiple cases. She handled my 3 different cases over past 7 years including the recent immigration case that got approval last month. Whenever I need attorney help, the only person I reach out to is Elizabeth. She is knowledgeable and very professional in handling any case. Elizabeth always kept me informed about the status of my case. She is very responsive to my emails and phone calls. I highly recommend Elizabeth.
