CASE: I-485 based on Approved I-140 (EB-1B)
APPLICANT: Indian
LOCATION: Hudson, OH
Our client is an assistant professor from India who is currently teaching at a state university. She has an approved EB-1B I-140 petition with a priority date of May 2015. Our client has a Ph.D. degree and has worked for this school since August 2014. She has maintained her status as an H-1B visa holder in the United States.
In September 2018, she contacted our office and retained us for her and her husband’s I-485 adjustment of status applications. Our office filed an I-485 adjustment of status application for our client and her husband on October 3, 2018. Everything went smoothly and the receipt notices and fingerprint appointment came on time.
Prior to the interview, we thoroughly prepared our client via conference call as well. On September 17, 2019, our client was interviewed at the Cleveland Ohio USCIS office. Attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu from our office accompanied our client as well. Though their interview went well, the visa numbers were not available for their cases in September of 2019. Nevertheless, on May 15, 2020, their I-485 applications were approved by the USCIS.
