Limit-point and limit-circle criteria are developed for linear differential equation of type \[ -(p(y'-ry))'- p\overline{r} (y'-ry)+qy= \lambda my \tag{1} \] in an interval \([a, \infty)\), where \(\lambda\) denotes a complex parameter, \(m\), \(p\) are positive functions, and \(q\), \(r\) are complex-valued functions in \([a,\infty)\) satisfying technical conditions (\(q\) is real for one theorem). Two main theorems provide sufficient conditions for (1) to be of limit-point or limit-circle type at \(\infty\), extending results of \textit{W. D. Evans} [J. Lond. Math. Soc., II. Ser. 4, 245-256 (1971; Zbl 0229.34023)], \textit{F. V. Atkinson} and \textit{W. D. Evans} [Math. Z. 127, 323-332 (1972; Zbl 0235.34073)], and \textit{R. J. Amos} [Quaest. Math. 3, 53-65 (1978; Zbl 0411.34041)].
