I-485 (Adjustment of Status)

The Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status — the final step in the green card process for applicants inside the United States. Filing I-485 allows applicants to request an EAD (I-765) and Advance Parole (I-131) while the application is pending. Processing times vary significantly by service center and preference category.
