Adjustment of Status · Residency · From the U.S.

Get your residency without leaving the United States.

After such a long road, your life is already here. If you already have an eligible basis, we prepare and organize your process to request permanent residency from within the U.S., with a structured review of your documentation and support at every administrative stage.

Prerequisite

You need an eligible immigration basis.

Adjustment of Status requires an eligible immigration basis — for example, an approved family petition, a work visa or another permitted process. León & Asociados performs a general administrative review of your documents; when a case requires a legal determination, we refer you to a licensed immigration attorney.
