Form I-854B, Inter-Agency Alien Witness and Informant Adjustment of Status

Inter-Agency Alien Witness and Informant Adjustment of Status

Law enforcement agencies use Form I-854A to request a noncitizen witness and/or informant receive classification as an S nonimmigrant. Law enforcement agencies use Form I-854B to request a noncitizen in S nonimmigrant status be allowed to apply for adjustment of status to adjust to lawful permanent resident (LPR) status under section 245(j) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).

Form I-854B is an adjustment of status document for an alien witness or informant, filled out by law enforcement agencies. It includes personal information about the alien such as mailing address, current location, and contact details. The form also requests information about the alien's place of birth, marital status, country of origin, and occupation. Law enforcement agencies provide certifications attesting to the alien's compliance with their admission and classification terms, contributions to criminal investigations or prevention of acts of terrorism, and fulfillment of specific S-classification limitations. Form I-854B also requires attachments of various forms such as Form G-325 and Form FD-258, along with photos. The Department of Justice, Criminal Division certifies the information provided by the law enforcement agencies and recommends the alien for adjustment of status under INA section 245(j). The form concludes with adjustment granted or denied information.
