CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status.
NATIONALITY: Indonesian
LOCATION: Cleveland, OH
The marriage-based green card approval we got recently was for an Indonesian client who came to the U.S. on a J-1 Visa in April 2008. He came to the U.S. for business training, but his J-1 program subjected him to the two-year foreign residency requirement. In October 2011, our client married his U.S. Citizen wife. He had to get a waiver of his two-year foreign residency requirement so he consulted with our office and later retained us on January 4, 2012.
As explained in a previous success story, our office worked on our client’s J-1 waiver. Eventually, the Indonesian Embassy issued a No Objection Statement for our client, and sent this letter to the State Department’s Waiver Review Division. On February 16, 2012, the Waiver Review Division issued a favorable recommendation based on the No Objection statement. The CIS has receipted the fee and issued an I-612 approval notice for our client’s waiver of the two-year foreign residency requirement on March 7, 2012.
After we received the I-612 waiver, our firm prepared and filed the I-130 petition and I-485 adjustment of status application on April 24, 2012. Everything went smoothly and the receipt notices, fingerprint appointment, and work permits all came on time. Prior to the interview, we thoroughly prepared our clients at our office. On August 9, 2012, our client was interviewed at the Cleveland USCIS office. We accompanied our client at his interview as well. On August 10, 2012, his green card application was approved.
