即使我符合资格要求，I-485 仍然可能被拒吗？
有可能。身份调整（Adjustment of Status）属于裁量性（discretionary）决定，这意味着，即使申请人满足法律规定的资格要求，也不代表 USCIS 一定会批准其 I-485 申请。
2026 年 5 月，USCIS 发布的一份政策备忘录强调，移民官在决定是否行使裁量权批准申请时，应当综合考虑申请人的整体情况（totality of the circumstances）。相关因素可能包括：
- 申请人的移民历史；
- 是否遵守此前的身份合法要求；
- 是否存在未经授权的就业经历；
- 此前是否有违反移民法的行为；
- 曾向移民机关作出的陈述等。
该政策并未改变身份调整的基本资格要求，但表明 USCIS 对裁量性因素的关注有所增加。由于这一政策在实际案件中的影响仍在逐步明确，如果申请人存在可能产生不利影响的因素，应当与移民律师仔细评估这些情况及其可能带来的风险。

USCIS looks at the totality of your circumstances, so the goal is to document favorable factors and address any negative ones rather than relying on a single piece of evidence. Positive factors may include family and community ties, compliance with tax and immigration laws, and other evidence of positive contributions or good character. If your record includes potential negative factors, they should be identified early and supported with relevant explanations, mitigating evidence or evidence of rehabilitation where appropriate.
A green card holder spouse can serve as the sole sponsor, but current unemployment may create an RFE or denial risk if they cannot show sufficient qualifying income or other financial resources.
For Form I-864, USCIS looks at the sponsor’s current financial circumstances, not just how much income was earned earlier in the year. If the job that produced the year-to-date earnings has ended, those past wages generally do not establish continuing current income on their own.
The financial requirement may still be met through:
- Qualifying assets
- Eligible continuing income from a household member or the intending immigrant
- A joint sponsor
If the evidence submitted does not establish that the applicable I-864 requirement is met, USCIS may issue an RFE or ultimately deny the adjustment application.
