CASE: Adjustment of Status Based on Approved K-1 Visa
CLIENT: Filipina
LOCATION: Akron, OH
Our client came to the United States in September 2021 as a K-1 visa entrant from the Philippines. Our client is the beneficiary of an approved I-129F petition. She got married within 90 days of her entry. By law, if you married your petitioner-fiancé within 90 days of your K-1 visa entry, you are eligible to apply for adjustment of status (green card) in the United States. She got married in September of 2021.
Our client contacted our office initially and consulted with us for her adjustment of status application. She retained our office on September 17, 2021. After retention, our firm prepared and filed the I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on September 24, 2021. Things went smoothly and the receipt notices, and the fingerprint appointment all came on time.
Thereafter, the USCIS scheduled an interview for our client’s adjustment of status application. Prior to the interview, we thoroughly prepared our clients via conference calls. On January 25, 2022, our client was interviewed at the Cleveland, Ohio USCIS office. Attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu from our office also accompanied our clients. On January 26, 2022, her green card application was approved.
