1. Photographs You must submit two identical color passport-style photographs of

yourself taken recently. The photos must have a white to off-white background, be
printed on thin paper with a glossy finish, and be unmounted and unretouched. The
photos must be 2 by 2 inches with a full face, frontal view. Head height should
measure 1 to 1 3/8 inches from the top of your hair to the bottom of your chin, and
eye height should measure between 1 1/8 to 1 3/8 inches from the top of your eyes
to the bottom of the photo. Your head must be bare unless you are wearing
headwear as required by your religious denomination. Use a pencil or felt pen to
lightly print your name and A-Number (if any) on the back of the photos.

2. Government-Issued Identity Document with Photograph All Form I-485 applicants

should submit a photocopy of a government-issued identity document that has their
photograph. Typically, this will be your passport or similar document, even if the
passport is now expired. It can also be any other government-issued identity
document such as a driver’s license or military identification document.

3. Birth Certificate All Form I-485 applicants, except refugees and asylees, must
submit a photocopy of their birth certificate issued by the appropriate civil authority
from the country of birth. Although refugees and asylees are not required to submit a
photocopy of their birth certificate, if the birth certificate is available, refugees and
asylees should submit a copy of the birth certificate. USCIS will only accept a
long-form birth certificate which lists at least one parent.

4.Inspection and Admission or Inspection and Parole

You must establish any claim that you were admitted or paroled into the United
States. This evidence must relate to your most recent arrival into the United States.
Submit copies of the following documents, if available: A. Passport page with
admission or parole stamp (issued by a U.S. immigration officer); B. Passport page
with nonimmigrant visa; and C. Form I-94 Arrival-Departure Record (See Form I-94
Arrival-Departure Record in the General Instructions section of these Instructions).

5. Documentation of Your Immigrant Category (see Part 2., Item Numbers 1.a. - 1.g.
of Form I-485) All Form I-485 applicants must submit evidence showing that they are
eligible for adjustment of status in a particular immigrant category. Filing as a
Beneficiary of an Immigrant Petition If you are filing as a beneficiary of an immigrant
petition, you generally must submit a photocopy of Form I-797, Approval Notice, for
your petition (or the principal applicant’s petition, if you are a derivative applicant), as
appropriate. If you are filing as a principal applicant and your immigrant category
allows you to file Form I-485 before your petition is approved, you may submit your
Form I-485 together with: A. Your immigrant petition; or DRAFT Not for Production
12/18/2023 Form I-485 Instructions 04/01/24 Page 12 of 41 B. A photocopy of Form
I-797, Receipt Notice, for your immigrant petition. If you are filing as a derivative
applicant based on the principal applicant’s petition, you may submit your Form I-485
together with a photocopy of: A. Form I-797, Approval or Receipt Notice, for the
principal applicant’s immigrant petition (if applicable); and B. Form I-797, Approval or
Receipt Notice, for the principal applicant’s Form I-485 (if applicable) or a copy of the
principal applicant’s Form I-551 (Green Card) (if applicable). Filing Your Form I-485
Based on a Category That Does Not Require an Underlying Petition If you are filing
your Form I-485 based on a category that does not require an underlying immigrant
petition, you must submit other documentation. See the Additional Instructions for
more category-specific information.

6. Marriage Certificate and Other Proof of Relationship If you are filing Form I-485 as
the derivative applicant spouse of the principal applicant, you generally must submit
a photocopy of your marriage certificate issued by the appropriate civil authority
where the marriage took place. Refugee derivative applicant spouses do not need to
submit a photocopy of the marriage certificate. There are also some immigrant
categories that require the principal applicant to submit a marriage certificate (for
example, K-1 nonimmigrants (person admitted to the United States as a fiancé(e)),
abused spouses and children under the Cuban Adjustment Act (CAA), Haitian
Refugee Immigration Fairness Act (HRIFA) dependents, and abused spouses and
children under HRIFA). See the Additional Instructions for more category-specific
information.

9. Evidence of Financial Support In general, you must demonstrate that you are not
likely to become a public charge. This means you must show that you will be able to
financially support yourself as a lawful permanent resident living indefinitely in the
United States. Generally, all immediate relative and family-based adjustment
applicants (beneficiaries of Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e), and Form I-130,
Petition for Alien Relative) must have a Form I-864. Some employment based
applicants must also have a Form I-864, Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of
the Act (whether they are beneficiaries of a Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien
Worker, or a Form I-360, Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant, if
filed in relation to certain employment-based immigrant visa classifications). See the
Instructions for Form I-864 to determine when Form I-864 is required and whether an
exemption may be available. If you are exempt from the Affidavit of Support
requirement, you may need to file Form I-864W, Intending Immigrant’s Affidavit of
Support Exemption.

envelope is opened or altered in any way. The civil surgeon should also give you a copy of
the completed Form I-693 for your records.

need to have Part 10. Vaccination Record completed by a designated civil surgeon. In this
case, you must submit Parts 1. - 5., 7., and 10. of Form I-693
