Quick answer

USCIS Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, is the application a noncitizen already inside the United States files to get a green card without leaving the country. You file it based on an immigrant category — most commonly a family petition (I-130), an employment petition, asylum, or refugee status — and it is often filed together with Form I-765 (work permit) and Form I-131 (advance parole). With JustFill you upload the blank USCIS I-485 PDF, the AI auto-detects every field, you type or dictate your answers, and you download the completed application free.

What is Form I-485?

Form I-485 is the USCIS green-card application for people adjusting status from within the United States — the alternative to consular processing abroad. JustFill turns the long official PDF into a fillable form you complete in your browser. It asks for your full biographic and immigration history: every entry into the US, current status, address and employment history, family details, and an extensive set of inadmissibility questions covering criminal, security, and immigration violations. A medical examination report (Form I-693, completed by a USCIS-designated civil surgeon) is required, and most applicants attend a biometrics appointment and an interview before USCIS decides the case.

Who fills out Form I-485?

  • Spouses, children, and parents of US citizens with an approved or concurrently filed Form I-130
  • Employment-based applicants whose priority date is current under an approved I-140 petition
  • Asylees and refugees applying for a green card after one year of status
  • Other family-preference beneficiaries adjusting status when a visa number is available
  • Certain special categories, such as diversity-visa selectees in the US and VAWA self-petitioners

Field-by-field breakdown

What each section of Form I-485 asks for. JustFill’s AI will detect these fields automatically when you upload the PDF — review the breakdown below so you know what to enter.

Application category

The immigrant basis you are adjusting under — family, employment, asylee/refugee, or another category.

Biographic information

Full name, other names used, date and country of birth, A-Number, and USCIS online account number.

Immigration history

Last entry into the US, I-94 number, current status, and every prior visit or status held.

Address & employment history

Where you have lived and worked for the past five years.

Family information

Parents, current and prior spouses, and all children, regardless of where they live.

Inadmissibility questions

A long series of yes/no questions on criminal history, immigration violations, and security grounds.

Signature

Sign and date; USCIS rejects unsigned applications.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • 1Leaving inadmissibility questions blank or answering them inconsistently with your record — every yes/no question must be answered, and a "yes" needs an explanation.
  • 2Traveling abroad while the I-485 is pending without advance parole (Form I-131) — for most applicants this abandons the application.
  • 3Filing when no visa number is available for your category, or omitting required items like the I-864 Affidavit of Support or the I-693 medical exam when requested.

Frequently asked questions

The form is free to download from uscis.gov and JustFill lets you complete it free online. USCIS charges a separate filing fee when you submit it — check uscis.gov for the current fee, since some categories differ.
Yes. Many applicants file the I-485 concurrently with Form I-765 (work permit) and Form I-131 (advance parole), and family-based applicants often file it together with the relative's Form I-130 petition.
Yes. Form I-693, completed by a USCIS-designated civil surgeon, is required. You can submit it with the I-485 or bring it later when USCIS requests it or at your interview.
Generally not without advance parole (Form I-131) — leaving the US without it usually abandons the application, with limited exceptions such as maintaining valid H or L status. Wait for the travel document before departing.
