Adjustment of status

The term "Adjustment of Status" (AOS) refers primarily to a process in immigration law, specifically in the United States. It allows foreign nationals who are already present in the U.S. to apply for lawful permanent resident status (a Green Card) without having to leave the country. While there are financial requirements and implications tied to certain immigration pathways, such as the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program where an investment is required, or the need for a sponsor to demonstrate financial capability, "Adjustment of Status" itself is not a core financial concept, nor does it fall under a traditional financial category like behavioral finance or portfolio theory.¹, ², ³, ⁴

Due to the nature of "Adjustment of Status" being predominantly an immigration legal term rather than a financial one, a comprehensive encyclopedia-style article on Diversification.com focusing on financial definition, formula, or traditional financial applications cannot be accurately generated. The core of this term and its processes relate to legal immigration procedures and not directly to financial markets, investments, or economic theories as would be expected for Diversification.com.
