FAQ
Common questions about Marriage Green Card via Adjustment of Status
Answers below are summarized from official USCIS or U.S. Department of State guidance linked with each item.
Can I file Form I-130 and Form I-485 together?
Usually yes for the spouse of a U.S. citizen. USCIS allows concurrent filing for immediate relatives because immigrant visas in that category are always available.
Source: USCIS: Concurrent Filing of Form I-485Can I include my children on my application?
Not as derivative beneficiaries on an immediate-relative spouse case. USCIS says each child must independently qualify for a Green Card and file a separate application.
Source: USCIS: Green Card for Immediate Relatives of U.S. CitizenDo I usually need lawful admission or parole to adjust status?
Generally yes. USCIS says immediate relatives applying inside the United States usually must have been inspected and admitted or inspected and paroled, with limited exceptions.
