Adjustment of Status (Green Card Applications)

Applying for a Green Card from Within the United States

Contreras Law Group represents individuals and families seeking Adjustment of Status (AOS) — the process that allows eligible applicants to apply for lawful permanent residence without leaving the United States. 


Adjustment of Status cases require careful legal analysis, accurate filing, and strategic planning. Our firm helps clients navigate this process with clarity and confidence. 

What Is Adjustment of Status?

Adjustment of Status is the process by which an eligible foreign national already present in the United States applies to become a lawful permanent resident (green card holder). 


Eligibility depends on factors such as current immigration status, manner of entry, visa availability, and prior immigration history. 

Our Adjustment of Status Services

 Contreras Law Group provides comprehensive representation for Adjustment of Status cases, including: 


  • Eligibility and strategy analysis 
  • Preparation and filing of I-485 applications 
  • Concurrent filing with immigrant petitions, when permitted 
  • Employment authorization (EAD) and advance parole applications 
  • Interview preparation and representation 
  • Responding to Requests for Evidence (RFEs) 


Our goal is to present a complete, well-documented application that anticipates issues before they arise. 

Adjustment of Status for Family- and Employment-Based Applicants

 We regularly assist clients adjusting status through: 


  • Marriage-based and family-based petitions 
  • PERM and employment-based green cards 
  • TN, H-2A, H-2B, and other work-based backgrounds 


Our experience across multiple visa categories allows us to align Adjustment of Status filings with prior immigration history in a consistent and defensible way. 

What to Expect After Filing

 Once an Adjustment of Status application is filed, applicants may be scheduled for: 


  • Biometrics appointments 
  • Requests for additional evidence 
  • Interviews with USCIS 


We guide clients through each stage and remain involved until a final decision is issued.
