I-485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status
The green card application filed from inside the United States. It converts an approved petition, or an independent eligibility such as asylum or refugee status, into permanent residence without leaving the country. It is normally filed with a medical exam, and it usually carries an EAD and advance parole application alongside it.

Что изменилось в 2025 и 2026 годах
- Filing an I-485 no longer buys much protection: USCIS has been issuing notices to appear more readily after denials since 2025. The I-693 medical must be signed by a designated civil surgeon and, since December 2024, USCIS has treated a properly signed I-693 as valid indefinitely.
