## Definition

The Adjustment of Status application, commonly referred to as Form I-485 in the United States, is used by eligible individuals who are already present in the U.S. on a non-immigrant visa and wish to apply for lawful permanent resident status (green card) without leaving the country. This process allows the applicant to transition from a temporary visa holder to a permanent resident without the need to undergo consular processing outside the U.S. The I-485 application requires various supporting documents and fees, and its approval results in the issuance of a green card, granting the applicant the right to live and work permanently in the U.S.
