Family-based green card: adjustment of status or consular processing

Form I-130 confirms a qualifying family relationship but does not itself grant status, work authorisation or permanent residence. The applicant must complete the applicable adjustment-of-status or immigrant-visa process, satisfy visa availability and admissibility requirements, and becomes a lawful permanent resident only after the relevant approval or admission.
