Stage III Option: Adjustment of Status

This stage involves filing Form I-485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status with USCIS. Simultaneous with filing this petition for AOS, permission to travel pending adjustment approval AND for employment authorization pending completion of the process is also usually filed. Until the employment authorization document and the travel permits are actually issued (approximately 90 days after filing) the foreign citizen and his/her family are generally restricted from leaving the U.S.
