What is Adjustment of Status?

Adjustment of status is the process used by noncitizens to become lawful permanent residents (“LPRs”) while remaining in the United States. Certain noncitizens may be eligible to adjust status before the immigration court while in removal proceedings. There are many ways that an individual may prove eligibility to adjust status during removal proceedings, including:

If the Immigration Judge grants an applicant’s adjustment of status, their case will be sent to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) for processing their lawful permanent resident card.

How can Delgado Rompf Bruen LLC help with my case?

Delgado Rompf Bruen LLC can assess your eligibility for adjusting status in immigration court, and other immigration benefits, during a consultation. Due to the nature of removal proceedings, the burdens for eligibility to adjust status are greater in court than if one is eligible before USCIS. If we determine that you are eligible to apply for adjustment of status, Delgado Rompf Bruen LLC will guide you in gathering the necessary evidence to support your case and our experienced attorneys will represent you in your hearings before the immigration judge.

What information and documents do I need?

To provide an accurate assessment, it is helpful to have information regarding the individual who is in removal proceedings. This includes:

  • The Notice to Appear (NTA);
  • The individual’s A-number;
  • Copies of any current or previously filed immigration petitions;
  • Travel history to/from the United States;
  • Criminal dispositions, police reports, court records, and previous sentences (including probation and jail time) for incidents in the U.S. and abroad (if applicable); and
  • Documents showing family ties in the U.S.
