For those who wish to regularize their immigration status in the United States and who entered the country with a legal visa, regardless of the type of visa they possess, as long as they have married a U.S. citizen, there is the possibility of applying for an adjustment of status to obtain permanent residence. This is valid even if they have exceeded the validity of their visas or have remained undocumented in the country.<\/p>

The adjustment of status process involves submitting a set of forms, documents, and evidence to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), as well as attending an interview with an immigration officer. The purpose of this interview is to demonstrate the authenticity of the marriage and ensure that it was not entered into solely for the purpose of fraudulently obtaining permanent residence.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Individuals who entered the United States without documentation and whose close relatives filed a petition on their behalf before April 30, 2001 may qualify for an adjustment of status, as long as they have not left the country since their arrival.<\/p>

After submitting the adjustment of status application, it is possible to obtain a work permit in approximately two months.<\/p>
