CASE: Marriage-Based Green Card
CLIENT: Filipino
LOCATION: Katy, TX
Our client came to the United States from the Philippines on a F-1 student visa. He married his current wife, who is a green card holder, in March 2017. After marriage, his wife filed an I-130 petition on behalf of our client in April 2017. This I-130 petition was approved on January 15, 2019. Our office helped our client in the I-130 petition process.
Our client retained our office again for his I-485 adjustment of status application. We could file the I-485 application because the priority date for F2A category was current at the time of filing. Our office prepared and filed an I-485 adjustment of status application, together with all necessary supporting documents, on February 4, 2019. 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 via conference call. On December 3, 2019, our client was interviewed at the Houston, Texas USCIS office. The interview went well, and the priority date for our client was current at the time of the interview as well. Eventually, on December 16, 2019, her green card application was approved.
