While the Adjustment of Status process through USCIS can be substantially shorter than processing through a U.S. Consulate, not all persons who come to the U.S. on visitor visas are allowed to file for Adjustment. An individual using a visitor visa to enter the U.S. must have an intention not to remain permanently in the U.S. and must intend to be coming only temporarily as a visitor. If a person enters with a visitor visa but is intending to stay permanently, they may be committing visa fraud. If a person is found by USCIS to have committed visa fraud, they could be prevented from obtaining an Immigrant visa/green card.
