Adjustment of status is primarily governed by INA § 245, codified at 8 U.S.C. § 1255, and implemented by regulations at 8 C.F.R. part 245. It allows certain noncitizens in the United States to apply for lawful permanent residence without having to leave the country.

Vargas Gonzalez Delombard, LLP does not file adjustment applications; however, we work with attorneys who have immigration experience and regularly handle AOS cases based on family, employment, and other qualifying categories.

Lawyers discussing your AOS Adjustment of Status process

What Is AOS?

Adjustment of status is the process of “adjusting” from a temporary or other status to that of a lawful permanent resident if:

  • You are eligible for an immigrant visa category
  • A visa is immediately available (subject to numerical limits)
  • You are admissible or qualify for a waiver, and
  • You meet specific procedural requirements under INA § 245 and 8 C.F.R. part 245

How an Immigration Lawyer Helps

Through our referral partners, AOS counsel can:

  • Determine if adjustment is available, or if consular processing is required instead
  • Prepare and file Form I-485 with supporting evidence
  • Address issues such as unlawful presence, prior violations, or criminal records
  • Represent you at AOS interviews and respond to RFEs or Notices of Intent to Deny

Our Role in Your Experience


For clients with property holdings, business interests, or ongoing litigation, remaining in the U.S. during an adjustment process can be critical. We will:

  • Help surface timing and risk considerations that intersect with your broader legal affairs
  • Connect you with immigration attorneys who center their practice on adjustment-of-status and related waivers
