Must-Know Facts

  • Form I-485 is the final application for a green card for eligible individuals already inside the United States. For spouses of U.S. citizens, it can often be filed concurrently (at the same time) with the initial sponsorship form (I-130).
  • You must provide extensive personal information and supporting documents, including proof of legal entry, a medical exam (Form I-693), financial support (Form I-864), and evidence of your relationship. The total filing fee is $1,440 for most adults.
  • You must be eligible to file, which means you have a legal basis (like marriage to a U.S. citizen), lawfully entered the country, and are not “inadmissible” due to criminal history, health issues, or other security risks.
  • The form must be filed by mail to a specific USCIS Lockbox. After filing, you will receive a receipt number to track your case online and will be scheduled for a mandatory biometrics appointment.
