USCIS recently updated the Form I-485, Application to Adjust Status. Among other notable changes, the new form has increased in length from six pages to 18 pages, the form instructions are now 42 pages, and the section on eligibility and inadmissibility has been expanded to include entirely new questions about working without authorization, false claims to U.S. citizenship, and unlawful voting. This advisory provides an overview of changes to the Form I-485, and discusses a few new or changed questions that we think merit particular attention. The changes we discuss apply to both the June 2017 and December 2017 revisions to the Form I-485.
