Form I-485 is used by USCIS to apply for permanent residency for current visa holders (those with a temporary immigration status). Living in the U.S and fulfilling all of the qualification criteria set forth by USCIS is the first step. Preparing your I-485 application with Road to Freedom immigration consultants makes the process a very simple one.
** Must be filing concurrently with one parent
• You must have an approved Immigrant Visa Petition (example: Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative or Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, or Special Immigrant, etc.); and you must file Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status with USCIS.
• Using Road to Freedom’s consultants, we’ll prepare your application, gather the evidence you need to support your application and submit it to USCIS for review.
• Once USCIS has received your application, they will send you a notice for a biometrics appointment where they will take your photo and fingerprints.
• If USCIS determines that it additional information is needed, you may receive a Request for Evidence.
• Once all of USCIS’s questions have been answered and the application is done being processed at the service center, you will be scheduled for an appointment to review your application.
• You are married to a U.S. citizen
• If you’re the child of a U.S. citizen and are under 21 and unmarried
• Have a U.S. citizen child over 21
• Married a U.S. permanent resident
• Have a U.S citizen sibling who is over the age of 21
• Engaged to a U.S citizen

• A U.S. based employer is sponsoring you for a job in the U.S.
• You may permanently legally reside and work in the United States.
• You may petition for relatives who want to immigrate to the United States.

On average, it takes about 6 months for the Green Card process after you have submitted your application to USCIS. Keep in mind however, that processing times are always changing and may vary depending on your local office.
• If your green card is based on a familial relationship, you must first have an approved I-130 visa petition. Depending on how close the relationship is to the Petitioner, and what country the beneficiary is from, that may be no wait (for parents, unmarried minor children, and spouses of a U.S. citizen) or it may mean a wait of 2 years or even 20 years.
