All applicants seeking lawful permanent residency in the United States through adjustment of status must physically be in the United States when they file Form I-485. The other requirements you must meet in order to apply for a Green Card through adjustment of status depends on which immigrant category you are applying under. To learn more, visit the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website.

Depending on your circumstances and the immigrant classification you have chosen, you can file Form I-485 with USCIS as a principal immigrant or a derivative applicant. For more information, see the Instructions for Form I-485 on the USCIS website.

Document Checklist Form I-485

USCIS asks for different types of evidence, or supporting documents from applicants in different immigration categories. In general, you’ll be asked to provide two passport-style photos that meet specific requirements; copies of a government-issued Photo ID; a photocopy of your birth certificate; information from your passport (copies of certain pages) and/or arrival/departure records; and medical records and/or the results of your medical exam. You must also provide the documents for your specific immigration category.

USCIS may reject or deny your application if you do not provide all requested material along with your application. Failure to provide it may also result in processing delays not only for your Form I-485 but associated applications as well.

If you can’t primary evidence (such as a birth or marriage certificate), USCIS may accept secondary documents such as church or school as long as you can explain why the primary evidence is unavailable. If you are unable to submit secondary evidence, you may provide two or more sworn statements from people who are not associated with the immigration benefit you are seeking, but have direct personal knowledge of the event and circumstances. You must also explain why you can’t provide the primary and secondary supporting documents.

Most (but not all) applicants must also send payment for the filing fee and biometrics services fee (if applicable) along with Form I-485.

I got my citizenship last year, I decided to bring my parents in the US. I was looking for a proper site quite for a long time and then saw Usimmigrationforms.com. The government fees are so expensive for my parent’s green card so I couldn’t afford a lawyer. I was so surprised how easy and cheap the process can be

Hi, I am from Ukraine and my name is Elena. Many know that we have problems in our country, economical, political and so on. I am 24 years old and was really afraid staying here, so started looking for all possible variants of immigration. I am an English teacher and was dreaming for a long time to move to the USA. With j this service I found it to be really simple and cheap. Yes, prices are quite affordable in comparison with other online services. I had no problems with filling the forms. Everything is so understandable and clear. Now I know that everything is ready and I am preparing for a flight over the ocean to seek asylum in the US.
