Applying for a U.S. Green Card? The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has warned that even a single mistake on Form I-485 can lead to rejection or long processing delays.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), USCIS said, “Applicants MUST properly complete Form I-485 per the form instructions.” The agency highlighted the Public Charge Inadmissibility section (Part 9) as a frequent trouble spot, where many applicants fail to answer all required questions — a simple error that can cause serious delays.
What Is Form I-485?
Form I-485, officially called the Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, allows eligible individuals already in the U.S. to apply for a Green Card. It’s a vital step for anyone moving from a temporary visa or non-immigrant status to lawful permanent residency.
The form requires detailed personal, background, and financial information. USCIS uses this to determine eligibility — including whether an applicant is likely to depend on public assistance.
Immigration experts say that small omissions or incomplete answers are among the most common reasons for delays or rejections.
