CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
CLIENT: Canadian
LOCATION: Parma, OH
Our client came to the United States from Canada on a F-1 student visa to pursue his medical degree in the United States. He married a U.S. Citizen in July 2019 in Florida. After they got married, our client’s wife got a job in DC and had to move. Our client was still in school in Ohio, so he had to stay in Ohio while his wife was in DC. Despite living apart, they maintained their marital relationship.
He retained our office on October 14, 2019 for his green card application. Our firm prepared and filed the I-130 Petition and I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on November 13, 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 calls. On August 26, 2020, our client was interviewed at the Cleveland, Ohio USCIS office. Attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu from our office also accompanied our clients. Eventually, on the same day of his interview, his green card application was approved.
