After submitting your adjustment of status documents, you still need to participate in additional steps before completing your adjustment process.
Adjustment of Status Interview
When your adjustment of status forms are approved, you will then attend an adjustment of status interview. During the interview, you must prove that you were married in good faith, officially called a bona fide marriage. When you go to your interview, your spouse will come with you. Your interview will most likely be the last step in your process of adjusting your status from your K-1 to green card.
Speak with your immigration lawyer about how to best prepare for your adjustment of status interview. If you have already been issued your EAD card, bring that along with you to your interview.
Conditional Green Card
Once your initial adjustment of status has been approved, including your interview, you will be given a conditional green card. Valid for two years, your conditional green card has a time constraint to further prove that your marriage is lawful and bona fide. When the two years is up, you may then file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence. When your Form I-751 is accepted, you will then be given your permanent residency card.
