INA 245 covers adjustment of status from a non-immigrant to a legal permanent resident?

• A. Admissibility
• B. General classes of deportable aliens
• C. Adjustment of status from non-immigrant to LPR
• D. Time to complete vehicle pursuit report

Answer: (C)

INA 245 is the provision that governs changing status from someone who is in the United States on a temporary visa (non-immigrant) to a lawful permanent resident without leaving the country. It outlines who is eligible to apply for adjustment, requiring that the person has been inspected and admitted or paroled, has a qualifying basis for immigration (such as a petition or other adjustment ground), and remains eligible in terms of status at the time of filing. In practice, eligible applicants file Form I-485 to seek permanent residency under this section, with possible avenues like family or employment sponsorship and special provisions such as 245(i) for certain preexisting petitions. This topic is distinct from admissibility (whether someone may be allowed to enter or stay in the U.S in the first place), deportability (grounds for removal), or unrelated administrative tasks like pursuing a vehicle pursuit report. So the concept that best fits is the adjustment of status from non-immigrant to lawful permanent resident.
