Adjustment of Status (AOS Package)

Apply for Your Green Card Without Leaving the United States

Adjustment of Status (AOS) is the process that allows you to apply for a green card from inside the United States—without having to return to your home country. This is one of the most important steps toward permanent residency, and a well-prepared application can help you avoid delays, interviews, and requests for evidence (RFEs).

At Nakimax Immigration Services, we prepare complete, organized, and accurate AOS packages to help you move confidently toward lawful permanent residence.


What Is Adjustment of Status?

Adjustment of Status is the process of changing your immigration status from a temporary or non-immigrant category to lawful permanent resident (“green card holder”) while staying in the U.S.

It is commonly used for:

  • Spouses of U.S. citizens

  • Immediate family members of U.S. citizens

  • Certain employment-based categories

  • Beneficiaries with approved petitions

  • Some humanitarian categories, depending on eligibility

AOS is available only to applicants who are inside the U.S. and meet specific legal requirements.


Who Is Eligible for AOS?

You may qualify if:

  • You have a valid family or employment petition (I-130, I-140, etc.)

  • You were inspected and admitted or paroled into the U.S.

  • You are currently in lawful status (some categories have exceptions)

  • You have an available visa category

  • You do not have certain inadmissibility issues

Nakimax evaluates your case to ensure eligibility before preparing your application.

A complete AOS package typically includes:

  • Form I-485 – Application to Register Permanent Residence

  • Form I-130 – If filing concurrently for family-based cases

  • Form I-130A – Supplemental for spouses
