Adjustment of status is the process that you can use to apply for lawful permanent resident status (also known as applying for a Green Card) when you are present in the United States.
This means that you may get a Green Card without having to return to your home country to complete visa processing.
There may be exemptions to unlawful presence that can allow you to become a permanent resident if you are an immediate relative of a US Citizen.
By adjusting status within the United States, you can also receive a work permit and travel authorization while your application is pending.
