US Visa Thailand - Adjustment of Status

Filing for adjustment of status is required for foreign nationals already in the US to apply for permanent resident status (green card).

Filing for adjustment of status is common, but discouraged for applicants who arrive in the US on a tourist visa and then decide to get married while in the US.

Please be aware such applicants risk being charged with visa fraud if the USCIS determines that the applicant had an intention to get married before arrival in the US.

Adjustment of status applications normally take 1 year or more to process depending on the caseload of USCIS office where the application is filed.
