New Updates on Form I-485, Adjustment of Status 

To make Form I-485 more user-friendly and easier to understand for applicants, USCIS recently updated the form and instruction in April 2020.

• New Formatting - New spacing and columns make the form easier to read
• A separate Form G-325A, Biographic Information, is no longer needed 
• General eligibility and inadmissibility questions have been organized and listed in logical groups
• The instruction now has two parts:
• General instructions - Apply to every applicants
• Additional instructions - You only need to read the part that's related to your specific immigration category. Not all categories have additional instructions.
