What happens if your adjustment of status is denied?
Adjustment of status is granted at the discretion of USCIS. If your application for adjustment of status has been denied, you can be subject to deportation (removal) proceedings. Seek the assistance of an experienced U.S. immigration attorney. The attorney can help you decide what to do next.
What happens if I-485 gets denied?
Fortunately, a denial does not mean that all hope is lost. One option is to file a Motion to Reconsider or a Motion to Reopen with USCIS. Alternatively, you can request a review from USCIS’s Administrative Appeals Office (AAO). Another option is to reapply and start the process over from the beginning.
What happens if I-485 is approved?
After your adjustment of status (I-485) petition is approved, you (and your dependents who applied with you) need to go to the nearby U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) local office to get your passport stamped. With the exception of children under 14 years of age, passport stamping is required.
Can I travel while my i-485 is pending?
Adjustment applicants who are in valid H-1B status, and their dependents, can travel abroad and reenter the United States in H status while an I-485 is pending, without having to obtain advance parole. All travelers must have a valid H1B/H4 entry visa.
Can you stay in the US while adjusting status?
When you use AOS, you’ll be able to stay in the United States while your application is processed, even if your visa expires before your green card is approved. The alternative to AOS is consular processing, which is when you apply for a green card from outside the United States.
Can I travel after filing adjustment of status?
While waiting for your adjustment of status interview, you might want or need to visit your home country or somewhere else, perhaps to visit family or continue arranging your final move to the U.S., for example. You can travel, but must use great care.
