What Is the Purpose of Supplement A?

If you are disqualified from adjusting status under INA section 245(a), you may be eligible to adjust status under INA
section 245(i). For more information on who may be disqualified from adjusting under INA section 245(a), see the Bars
to Adjustment and Grounds of Inadmissibility section below.
You should use Supplement A if you seek to adjust status under INA section 245(i).

You cannot adjust status based on filing Supplement A alone. You must also file Form I-485 and be eligible for a visa
under a family-based, employment-based, special immigrant, or Diversity Visa immigrant category. Supplement A and
Form I-485 are used to determine whether you qualify for INA section 245(i) adjustment.

Who May File to Adjust Status Under INA Section 245(i) Using Supplement A?

Use Supplement A if you are applying to adjust status under INA section 245(i). You may file Supplement A when:
1. You are filing your Form I-485 at the same time; or

2. You previously filed your Form I-485 and it remains pending.
You may file Supplement A only if:

1. ONE of the following applies to you:
A. You are or were the principal beneficiary of an immigrant petition or application for permanent labor
certification properly filed on or before January 14, 1998, which was approvable when filed;
B. You are or were the principal beneficiary of an immigrant petition or application for permanent labor
certification properly filed on or after January 15, 1998, but on or before April 30, 2001, which was approvable
when filed and you were physically present in the United States on December 21, 2000;
C. You are or were the derivative beneficiary of an immigrant petition or application for permanent labor
certification properly filed on or before January 14, 1998, which was approvable when filed;
D. You are or were the derivative beneficiary of an immigrant petition or application for permanent labor
certification properly filed on or after January 15, 1998, but on or before April 30, 2001, which was approvable
when filed and the principal beneficiary was physically present in the United States on December 21, 2000; or
E. You are currently the spouse or child (unmarried and under 21 years of age) eligible to accompany or followto-join a principal or derivative beneficiary described in Items A. - D. above.
NOTE: “Properly filed” and “approvable when filed” are explained in the What Evidence Must You Submit to
Establish Your Eligibility for Adjustment of Status under INA Section 245(i) section of these Instructions.

of age) who is eligible to accompany or follow-to-join a principal applicant for adjustment of status under INA section
245(i), you must file Form I-485:
1. At the same time as the principal applicant files Form I-485;

2. After the principal applicant filed a Form I-485 that remains pending a final decision by U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS); or
3. After the principal applicant was granted lawful permanent residence under INA section 245(i) (as long as the
principal applicant is still currently a lawful permanent resident) and at the time of that approval, you were the
principal applicant’s spouse or child.

Bars to Adjustment and Grounds of Inadmissibility

Grounds of Inadmissibility

If you are inadmissible to the United States, you may not adjust to lawful permanent resident status. You can find the
grounds of inadmissibility listed in INA section 212(a) at www.uscis.gov.
If you are inadmissible, you may be eligible for a waiver or other form of relief. If your waiver application or other form
of relief is granted, USCIS may approve your application to adjust status.
You can learn more about waivers and other forms of relief by reading the Instructions for Form I-601, Application for
Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility, at www.uscis.gov/I-601 and Form I-212, Application for Permission to Reapply for

If you are using an immigrant petition to show that you qualify for adjustment under INA section 245(i), provide the
receipt number of the petition in Part 2. Eligibility, Item Number 2. (if available). If you are using a permanent labor
certification application to qualify, you do not need to complete Item Number 2.
NOTE: If you use one of the petitions listed above to qualify to apply under INA section 245(i), you may be able to use
the same petition to establish eligibility for an immigrant visa, or you may establish eligibility for an immigrant visa based

A. Are or were the principal beneficiary of an immigrant petition or application for permanent labor certification
that was properly filed on or before April 30, 2001, and which was approvable when filed;
B. Are or were a derivative beneficiary (the principal beneficiary’s spouse or unmarried child under 21 years of age
at the time the qualifying petition or application was filed) of an immigrant petition or application for permanent
labor certification that was properly filed on or before April 30, 2001, and which was approvable when filed; or
C. Are currently the spouse or an unmarried child under 21 years of age who is eligible to accompany or followto-join a principal or derivative beneficiary described in Items A. or B. above, and the principal or derivative
beneficiary is currently applying for or was granted adjustment of status under INA section 245(i).
Documentation. To prove the existence of a qualifying petition or application, submit an official document showing
either:
A. The filing or approval of the immigrant petition (Form I-797, Notice of Action), which contains the principal
beneficiary’s name; or
B. The filing or approval of the permanent labor certification application (Form ETA-750), which contains the
principal beneficiary’s name.
If you qualify to apply for adjustment of status under INA section 245(i) because you are or were a derivative
beneficiary of a qualifying petition or application, you must prove the required relationship to the principal beneficiary
by submitting a marriage certificate (for spouse) or birth certificate (for child). This evidence must show that the
claimed relationship existed at the time the qualifying petition or application was properly filed. You do not need to
show that the relationship still exists.
If you qualify to apply for adjustment of status under INA section 245(i) because you are the current spouse or an
unmarried child under 21 years of age of a person who is or was the principal or derivative beneficiary of a qualifying
petition or application, you must submit evidence of your current relationship to the principal applicant.
2. The qualifying immigrant petition or application for permanent labor certification was properly filed.
An immigrant petition is considered properly filed if the:
A. Petitioner properly signed the petition;
B. Petitioner submitted the correct filing fee; and
C. Petition was physically received at a designated USCIS office (then known as the Immigration and Naturalization
Service (INS)) on or before April 30, 2001, or was mailed with a postmark on or before April 30, 2001 (regardless
of when INS received it).
A permanent labor certification application is considered properly filed if the U.S. Department of Labor (or a
designated state workforce agency) accepted the application on or before April 30, 2001, under applicable Federal
regulations at the time.

Documentation. To show that your immigrant petition or permanent labor certification application was properly
filed, you must submit either:
A. Form I-797 showing a qualifying date of filing. (Form I-797 showing a filing date indicates the U.S. Government
accepted the petition and implies that the U.S. Government determined the petition was signed and submitted with
the appropriate filing fee); or
B. Form ETA-750 bearing a state workforce agency’s date stamp, an agency letter, or other document specifying the
date of receipt/filing.
3. The qualifying petition or application was approvable when filed.

An immigrant petition or labor certification application is considered approvable when filed if:
A. The petition or application was properly filed;

B. The petition or application was meritorious in fact; and

C. The petition or application was not frivolous (“frivolous” meaning patently without substance).
Documentation. Unless contradictory evidence exists, a final decision approving the required petition or application
shows that the petition or application was approvable when filed. Such an approval consists of either:
A. An INS approval notice (on Form I-797) for the immigrant petition; or

B. A U.S. Department of Labor certification stamp (on Form ETA-750) for the permanent labor certification application.
Absent an approved petition or application, you may submit any relevant evidence to show the petition or application
was properly filed and approvable when filed. USCIS makes this determination based on the circumstances that
existed at the time the qualifying petition or application was filed. A petition or application that was approvable when
filed but was later withdrawn, denied, or revoked due to circumstances that arose after the time of filing may still
qualify you for INA section 245(i) adjustment if you are otherwise eligible.
4. The principal beneficiary of the qualifying petition or application was physically present in the United States on
December 21, 2000 (if applicable).
If you qualify to apply for adjustment of status under INA section 245(i) based on an immigrant petition or application
for permanent labor certification filed on or after January 15, 1998, you must prove that the principal beneficiary of
that petition or application was physically present in the United States on December 21, 2000.
Documentation. In some cases, a single document may suffice to prove physical presence, but often you will need
to submit several documents. USCIS will ordinarily place the greatest weight on government-issued documents. The
following list gives examples of documents that you may submit as evidence of physical presence:
A. Form I-94 Arrival-Departure Record, the nonimmigrant visa page of the principal beneficiary’s passport, Form
I-512L, or other U.S. Government-issued document showing admission or parole into the United States after
inspection by an immigration officer;
B. A Notice to Appear in Immigration Court;
C. Official correspondence or other notices from a U.S. Government agency;
D. A state driver’s license;
E. Income tax or property tax records, returns, or payments;
F. School or college transcripts and records;
G. Hospital or doctor’s records;

H. Lease agreements and rental receipts;
I. Utility bill receipts;
J. Employment records, such as payroll statements or pay stubs; or
K. Bank and credit card statements and records.
NOTE: If you submit a personal affidavit attesting to physical presence, you must also submit other supporting
documentation. USCIS will evaluate all documentation on a case-by-case basis.
If you qualify to apply for adjustment of status under INA section 245(i) based on an immigrant petition or application
for permanent labor certification filed on or before January 14, 1998, you do NOT need to submit any evidence of
physical presence.
