Can You Adjust Your Status with a Pending I-526?
5/26/2025
You can apply for adjustment of status while your I-526 is pending. However, if the initial petition is not approved, there is no basis for the adjustment application. This is why many investors prefer to wait for the initial approval before moving forward with the status change process.
The initial petition is the cornerstone of the EB-5 process, proving your eligibility as an investor. Both steps play crucial roles in the EB-5 process. The 1-526 petition establishes your eligibility, while the I-485 form changes your residency status.
Consulting with an attorney helps determine the right timing and sequence for these steps. Through their assistance, you can ensure a smooth transition through each phase of your journey toward permanent residency.
