CASE: Marriage-Based Green Card
CLIENT: Chinese
LOCATION: Cleveland, OH
Our client came to the United States from China and he is currently pursuing his Master’s degree in Cleveland Ohio on an F-1 student visa. He married his current wife, who is a green card holder, in August 2013.
Our client retained our office on August 20, 2013 for his I-130 petition and I-485 adjustment of status application. Although the Petitioner is a green card holder, we could file the I-130 / I-485 simultaneously because the priority date for F2A category was current in August and September 2013. Our office prepared and filed an I-130 petition and I-485 adjustment of status application, together with all necessary supporting documents, on September 3, 2013. Everything went smoothly and the receipt notices, fingerprint appointment, and work permits all came on time. The priority date of our client was September 6, 2013.
Prior to the interview, we thoroughly prepared our clients at our office. On January 2, 2014, our client was interviewed at the Cleveland, OH USCIS office. Our attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu accompanied them at their interview as well. The interview went well, and the priority date for our client was current at the time of the interview as well. Eventually on January 8, 2014, his green card application was approved.
