CASE: I-485 based on Approved I-140 (EB-1B)
APPLICANT: Korean
LOCATION: Munroe Falls, Ohio
Our client is an assistant professor from South Korea, who is currently teaching at a state university which was willing to petition him for a first-preference petition (I-140 EB-1B category). Our client has a Ph.D. degree and has worked for this school since 2010. He has maintained his status as an H-1B visa holder in the United States. He had an approved I-140 petition which was filed by his current employer and this I-140 petition’s priority date was November 24, 2011.
In April 2023, he contacted our office and retained us for the I-485 applications for him and his wife. Our office filed an I-485 application for our clients on June 2, 2023. All went well and the receipt notices and fingerprint appointment came on time. On August 19, 2023, our client and his wife’s green card applications were approved.
