The filing of the I-485 Adjustment of Status application requires physical presence in the U.S. on the day the application is received at the USCIS. He must also complete Biometrics (fingerprinting and photographs) at the nearest Application Support Center in the U.S., which is typically scheduled 2-4 weeks after filing. Biometrics must be completed in the U.S., as well. Please note that this provides general information and is not intended to be a substitute for specific legal advice regarding an individual matter. As the immigration laws are constantly changing, we strongly encourage you to work closely with legal counsel when pursuing any immigration benefits.
