The information on Form I-485 will be used to request and determine eligibility for adjustment of permanent residence status. Supplement A is used to adjust status under section 245(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act).
Section 7611 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (NDAA 2020), Liberian Refugee Immigration Fairness (LRIF) was enacted on December 20, 2019, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) was required to begin accepting applications for adjustment of status filed under the LRIF as of the date of enactment. The statute does not have a delayed effective date that would allow USCIS to complete the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) form revision process before accepting applications filed under the LRIF. The provisions of the statute went into effect immediately.

Additionally, the LRIF population will need to provided evidence to comply with the LRIF Special Instructions.
