¿Qué es un Ajuste de Estatus por medio del matrimonio?
April Perez • November 17, 2022
Esta es una petición que puede presentar un residente permanente legal o un cónyuge ciudadano estadounidense
a favor de su cónyuge inmigrante para obtener una tarjeta verde (Green Card o Tarjeta de residente permanente). Para presentar esta petición, las personas deben estar legalmente casadas, no se requiere un período de tiempo específico, pero la duración del matrimonio en el momento de la entrevista puede afectar si la emisión de la tarjeta verde es por 2 o 10 años, si el caso es aprobado.
Hay dos peticiones que deben completarse: la I-130 (Petición para Familiar Extranjero) y la I-145 (Solicitud de Registro de Residencia Permanente). Si el cónyuge inmigrante está en los Estados Unidos, estas dos peticiones se presentan al mismo tiempo. Según el estatus del cónyuge inmigrante en el momento de la solicitud, es posible que también pueda solicitar la Solicitud I-765 (Solicitud de Autorización de Empleo/ Libertad condicional anticipada).
Cada solicitud conlleva su propia tarifa que debe pagarse a USCIS y requiere documentación de respaldo. Una vez que las peticiones se presentan junto con la documentación requerida, incluida la documentación que demuestra que el matrimonio es de buena fe o un matrimonio real, y USCIS las recibe, se emite un recibo, seguido de un aviso de cita para toma de huellas dactilares para el cónyuge inmigrante. Después de eso, la pareja debe esperar a que USCIS programe una entrevista para ellos. El aviso de la entrevista indicará la fecha, la hora y el lugar de la entrevista, así como todos los documentos originales que se deben llevar a la entrevista para que el oficial los revise. Si tiene un abogado, su abogado debe prepararlo para la entrevista repasando qué esperar en la misma, su documentación y cualquier problema que pueda surgir.

It’s no secret that the U.S. immigration system has faced increased scrutiny and change in recent months. From evolving policies to headlines filled with uncertainty, it’s understandable that many individuals are left wondering: Is this still the right time to pursue a future in the United States? The answer is yes—and here’s why. Despite the shifting political landscape, the core structure of U.S. immigration law remains firmly in place. While the process may appear more complex or demanding than it once was, the legal pathways to live, work, and thrive in the United States are still open and accessible to those who take the proper steps. What often gets lost in the conversation is that the United States remains a country built on innovation, creativity, and resilience. It continues to attract global talent, entrepreneurs, artists, and professionals from all walks of life. Whether you are launching a business, advancing your career, or seeking a better life for your family, the United States offers unparalleled opportunities to those who are prepared and determined. Much of what makes the United States a global economic and technological leader today is the direct result of contributions made by immigrants. Nearly half of the current Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants or their children. Immigrant entrepreneurs have long been an essential part of America’s economic success story. Some of the largest and most recognizable American companies were founded by immigrants or the children of immigrants. This includes household names such as Apple and Costco. Moderna, the pharmaceutical company and vaccine producer, was founded by a Canadian-born stem cell biologist, Derrick J. Rossi, whose parents themselves emigrated from Malta. These success stories are not outliers; they are part of a broader pattern that reflects the drive, innovation, and resilience that immigrants bring to the country. The United States also offers one of the most dynamic and diverse economies in the world. It is a place where hard work, fresh ideas, and entrepreneurial vision are rewarded. For creative professionals, business leaders, and investors, the United States provides a unique platform to grow, connect, and gain global influence. Its competitive marketplace, access to capital, and culture of innovation create unmatched opportunities for those ready to seize them. While the immigration process requires careful planning, that process is far from impossible. Indeed, having strong legal guidance is one of the most effective advantages an applicant can possess. Immigration law is complex, and each case must be evaluated individually. A clear, strategic plan tailored to your background and goals can significantly improve your chances of success.
