Once the I-360 is approved, now is when you can start making preparations and taking steps toward filing for your green card. The first step in this process is filling out form I-485. If your spouse is a U.S. citizen, you can apply to adjust your status immediately, but if your spouse or partner was an LPR, you would have to wait for a visa to become available. In the meantime, the I-360 will allow you to temporarily remain lawfully in the United States.
