Adjustment of Status Application info for visa lottery applicants

To adjust your status to permanent resident, you have to fill out a bunch of documents and forms--separate sets for all family members including your spouse and your kids. You should go to the USCIS website for a packet of the forms you have to fill out: www.uscis.gov. You will definitely need form I-485--the application for permanent residence. You will also need form G-325A, form I-134, form I-131 and a host of documents including by not limited to proof of education, birth certificate, medical exam report, official notice of your lottery selection, marriage certificate, I-94 card, photos, fingerprints, and filing fees. You may also need to pay a penalty fee if you are in the U.S. illegally but because of a grandfather clause you are still allowed to adjust your status.
