CASE: I-485 based on Approved I-140 (EB-2)
APPLICANT: Canadian Citizen who was born in China
LOCATION: South Dakota
Our client is an associate professor from Canada (Chinese national), who is currently working at the University in South Dakota who was willing to petition her for a second-preference petition (I-140). She has maintained her status as an H-1B visa holder in the United States. She had an approved I-140 petition which was filed by her current employer and this I-140 petition’s priority date was June 1, 2012.
Once her priority date became current, she contacted our office and retained us for her I-485 adjustment of status application. Our office filed an I-485 adjustment of status application for our client on July 13, 2015. Everything went smoothly and the receipt notices and fingerprint appointment came on time.
Although there was a simple RFE request from the USCIS (they requested our client’s expired passport pages), on March 31, 2016, the USCIS Nebraska Service Center approved our client’s adjustment of status application. She is now a green card holder.
