CASE: I-485 based on Approved I-140 (EB-2)
APPLICANT: Korean
LOCATION: Erie, PA
Our client is an assistant professor from South Korea, who is currently teaching at a state university which 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 August 2017. He has maintained her 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 July 5, 2018.
In November 2018, he contacted our office and retained us for his I-485 adjustment of status application. Our office filed an I-485 adjustment of status application for our client on November 21, 2018. Everything went smoothly and the receipt notices and fingerprint appointment came on time.
Prior to the interview, we thoroughly prepared our client via conference call as well. On August 26, 2019, our client and his wife were interviewed at Buffalo New York USCIS office. The interview went well; however, the visa number was not available after the interview. Eventually, on October 28, 2019, his and his wife’s green card applications were approved.
