Hey Guys, Is applying for a permanent GC (after having a conditional 2-year one) considered an "adjustment of status"? I keep hearing about the public charge applying to those going though an adjustment of status so I wanted to confirm if it will apply to my wife who's now in the states awaiting her 2-year GC. Thanks!
