Adjustment of Status

Contextual Image

Applying for Permanent Residency

If you have been living in the United States on a family visa, work permit, student visa or other type of visa, adjustment of status is the process of becoming a lawful permanent resident (green card holder).

Keen Law Offices, LLC, represents foreign nationals in Orem, Provo, Salt Lake City and throughout Utah. Our immigration lawyers can address any special issues that would prevent approval, or simply help you deal with the many forms and complicated rules. Contact us today to discuss adjustment of status from non-immigrant to immigrant.

Experienced Immigration Law Attorneys

Adjustment of status allows you to stay in the U.S. without having to go back to your home country to apply for an immigrant visa. We have helped hundreds of resident aliens adjust to permanent status from a temporary family or work visa, including:

There are specific requirements, depending on your current status. Our experienced immigration lawyers have handled several scenarios: students who married a U.S. citizen, foreign workers who want to become U.S. citizens, business managers or owners who want to stay in America.

Keen Law Offices is located in Orem, but works with the Salt Lake City office of the Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) to achieve adjustment of status. We know their protocols and how they treat different cases, such as the level of scrutiny they may use in your case to make sure the marriage is legitimate. We answer questions on how to properly and honestly fill out the forms to prevent any delays.

We work with other attorneys in Salt Lake City who are members of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) to follow up on cases that are taking a long time. These attorneys can check on the status and find out if there is a problem with the petition that our firm needs to fix.

We handle all immigration issues, including:

  • Visa extensions or overstayed visas
  • Applying for U.S. citizenship
