Hire a lawyer. There's two steps to adjusting status. One is an approved visa petition that provides an immediately available visa. Taking the information at face value, it appears you have that. However, there may be issues with CSPA depending on when the action was filed and your age and the date the visa number came current. The second step is adjusting status. To adjust using a preference based visa such as yours, you must be in status or exempted by 245(i). So unless you're currently in status, you may not be able to use this visa petition to adjust. Back to the firs sentence. Hire a lawyer. Call us.
