Adjustment of Status - AOS

04/14/2023

The 60-day rule for physician signatures on the immigration medical exam results form has been eliminated by USCIS. As of March 31, applicants for a green card may submit Form I-693 up to two years after it has been signed by a civil surgeon. Prior to this change, it was necessary for applicants to ensure that the form was signed by a civil surgeon within 60 days of submitting their green card application or face the possibility of denial.

What's the wait time for a Green Card? The duration of obtaining a green card is contingent on various factors, such as the type of application you are filing and the accessibility of USCIS resources. A spousal visa or marriage green card, for instance, may require 13 to 33 months. Although you may meet the eligibility criteria for a family-based green card, the process of acquiring and physically possessing the card is not instantaneous, and it takes time.

Typically, when applying for a Green Card, one is required to fill out two forms: an immigrant petition and a Green Card application. Usually, an individual other than the applicant is responsible for submitting the petition on their behalf, also known as sponsoring or petitioning for them. However, in certain cases, the applicant may be eligible to file the petition themselves.

What's an Adjustment of Status (AOS)?

When you're in the United States and you want to apply for a green card, you have two options: You can either leave the country and apply at a U.S. consulate, or you can apply for an adjustment of status (AOS).

AOS is the application process that certain foreign nationals present in the United States can use to apply for a green card. When you apply for a green card through an AOS, you don't have to go back to your home country when your visa expires. You'll be allowed to remain in the United States until the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) completes their processing of your application.
