Check the immigrant category and whether adjustment of status or consular processing applies before selecting forms.

Who this route is for
People considering lawful permanent residence; eligibility, admissibility, petition sponsorship and visa availability depend on the category and history.

Timing and notices
Availability, filing windows and processing times vary by category. Check the current visa-availability and form instructions before filing or travel.

Prepare (conditional documents may have alternatives)
[ ] Identity, birth and travel records
[ ] Petition approval or receipt, if any
[ ] Current immigration status and arrival records
[ ] Family or employment evidence for the category
[ ] Prior immigration decisions

How to proceed
1. Review USCIS eligibility categories with a qualified representative to identify a possible basis for permanent residence.
2. Determine whether a sponsor petition is required and whether you can apply inside the United States or must use consular processing.
3. Check petition approval, visa availability and concurrent-filing rules before choosing Form I-485 or a State Department visa application.
4. Follow the category-specific current form, fee and evidence instructions, then keep receipts and follow biometrics and interview notices.
