The Form I-485 Application to Adjust Status process seeks to change you and your family members from your present temporary visa to that of permanent resident. Before we send to you the draft documents, we need to verify two important issues:
• If you had a J-1 visa, we will need to confirm that you are not subject to the two year “home residence” requirement, or that you have obtained a WAIVER from State Department;
• A visa is currently available for you based upon your country of birth and Employment-based Visa Classification (EB-1) as listed in the monthly “Visa Bulletin” issued by the State Department (see, http://www.travel.state.gov/visa_bulletin.html
