How to Determine Admissibility to the U.S. for a Green Card Application
“Admission” means the lawful entry into the U.S. after inspection and authorization by a United States immigration officer.
Under U.S. Immigration law, a person is seeking admission when he or she:
- is present at the border or port of entry and seeks permission to enter the U.S.
- is physically present in the U.S., but entered without inspection
- applies for an adjustment of status to become a lawful permanent resident, such as through a marriage green card
Additionally, in some instances, a lawfully admitted individual may travel abroad after being convicted of a crime and then want to return to the U.S., which is also considered seeking (re)admission.
