CASE: I-485 based on Approved I-140 (EB-2)
APPLICANT: Indian
LOCATION: Cleveland, OH
Our client is a Senior Oracle Applications Developer from India, who is currently working at a large chemical company who was willing to petition him for a second-preference petition (I-140). 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 19, 2008.
In February 2012, his priority date became current. He contacted our office and retained us for his and his wife’s I-485 adjustment of status applications. Our office filed I-485 adjustment of status applications for our client on February 17, 2012. Everything went smoothly and the receipt notices and fingerprint appointment came on time. However, the EB-2 for Indian Nationals retrogressed.
Eventually, in August 2014, his priority date became current. On August 25, 2014, the USCIS Nebraska Service Center approved our client and his wife’s adjustment of status applications. They are now green card holders.
