CASE: I-485 based on Approved I-140 (EB-2)
APPLICANT: Korean
LOCATION: Lubbock, TX
Our client is an assistant professor from South Korea, who is currently teaching at a state university who was willing to petition him for a second-preference petition (I-140). Our client has a Ph.D. degree and has worked for this school since 2018. 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 16, 2019.
In October 2019, he contacted our office and retained us for the I-485 adjustment of status application for him and his wife. Our office filed the I-485 adjustment of status applications for our clients on November 18, 2019. Everything went smoothly and the receipt notices and fingerprint appointment came on time. Eventually, on July 15, 2020, his green card application was approved without the interview.
