Adjustment of Status FAQs
Can I travel while my I-485 is pending?▼
You should not travel without approved Advance Parole (Form I-131). File for Advance Parole concurrently with your I-485 to obtain travel authority. With valid Advance Parole, you can travel and re-enter the U.S. without abandoning your application.
When can I start working after filing I-485?▼
File for work authorization (Form I-765) concurrently with your I-485. Once approved, you can work for any employer in the United States. Processing typically takes 2-6 months for EAD approval.
What if I have a biometrics appointment conflict?▼
Contact USCIS as soon as possible to reschedule. Missing your appointment without rescheduling could result in denial of your I-485. Most service centers allow online rescheduling through your USCIS account.
What documents do I need for my medical exam?▼
You must see a USCIS-designated civil surgeon. Bring your I-693 form, passport, and insurance information. The exam typically costs $100-300. Results must be included with your I-485 application.
