USCIS subreddit is already seething. For those without trophy wife mail-order brides, let me explain the intention of the I-485, Adjustment of Status (AOS), application.
When someone comes to America on a temporary basis, like as a tourist, student, or for a short business trip, they use what is called a ‘non-immigrant visa’ or a visa waiver. Now, if you happen to get married/pregnant, the I-130+I-485 applications allow you to become a permanent resident while staying in the U.S. The intention is for bona fide families to be able to remain together without too much burden.
Now, of course there are a whole class of people who abuse this system, often with large sums of money involved, because this process is not only faster than consular processing (getting a green card outside of America), but non-immigrant visas are also easier to get. There is a legitimate purpose for the AOS system, but it makes sense that DHS would try to seal up loopholes enabled by it.
