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.
