CASE: I-485 based on Approved I-140 (EB-2)
APPLICANT: Chinese Nurse Practitioner
LOCATION: Houston, Texas
Our client is a nurse practitioner from China, who is currently working at a large hospital which 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 December 31, 2007.
In July 2016, 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 22, 2016. Everything went smoothly and the receipt notices and fingerprint appointment came on time.
Eventually, on September 22, 2016, the USCIS Texas Service Center approved our client’s adjustment of status application. She is now a green card holder.
