Failing to Maintain Status

If you were admitted to the United States as an A or G nonimmigrant, you will maintain an A or G nonimmigrant status

as long as the U.S. Secretary of State recognizes you as being entitled to such status. Therefore, you maintain your status

until DOS terminates your diplomatic status.

DOS is responsible for terminating an individual’s diplomatic status and for determining the date of an individual’s

termination of status. DOS requires foreign missions to submit Form DS-2008 (Notice of Termination of Diplomatic,

Consular, or Foreign Government Employment) to DOS, without delay, when employees of foreign missions terminate

their employment status. For further information regarding termination of diplomatic status, please contact DOS.

DOS Consultation

After your adjustment of status interview with USCIS, USCIS will consult with DOS. DOS will make a recommendation

on the merits of your application. Once USCIS receives the recommendation, we will make a decision on your application.

Visa Availability

Only 50 adjustments under this category are allowed per year. You may wish to consider applying under another

immigrant category, if possible, due to this category’s numerical limitation.

Indochinese Parole Adjustment Act of 2000

You may apply to adjust status if you are a national of Vietnam, Cambodia, or Laos who was inspected and paroled into

the United States before October 1, 1997 from Vietnam under the Orderly Departure Program (ODP), a refugee camp in

East Asia, or a displaced person camp administered by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in

Thailand.

Derivative applicants are not allowed in this category.

Evidence of Financial Support

If you are filing Form I-485 under the Indochinese Parole Adjustment Act, you do not need to submit evidence of financial

support.
