CASE: I-485 based on Approved I-140 (EB-2)
APPLICANT: Chinese
LOCATION: Solon, OH
Our client is an assistant professor from China, who is currently teaching at a state university which was willing to petition for a second-preference I-140. Our client has a Ph.D. degree and has worked for this school since July 2017. 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 May 17, 2018.
In August 2021, he contacted our office and retained us for his I-485 adjustment of status application once his priority date became current. Our office filed the I-485 adjustment of status application for our client on September 24, 2021. Everything went smoothly and the receipt notices and fingerprint appointment came on time. Eventually, on February 28, 2022, he and his wife’s green card applications were approved.
