CASE: I-485 Adjustment of Status based on approved I-360 Petition
NATIONALITY: Kenyan
LOCATION: Willoughby, OH
Our Kenyan client came to the U.S. in February 2005 with a J-2 visa. He married his U.S. citizen wife in December 2014. In December 2019, he contacted our office to seek legal representation for his I-360 petition. According to his story, our client’s marital life was tough and he eventually was abused by his spouse. With his story and other evidence, our office determined that he would be eligible for I-360 self-petition as a spouse of an abusive U.S. citizen.
Our client experienced domestic violence and spousal abuse during his marriage. His wife physically and mentally abused our client throughout the years. Thus, we prepared and filed his I-360 petition, which included numerous exhibits and a detailed brief to the USCIS Vermont Service Center on January 24, 2020.
Eventually, on April 4, 2022, the USCIS Vermont Service Center approved our client’s I-360 petition. While his I-360 petition was pending, our firm prepared and filed the Adjustment of Status Application on March 17, 2020. Everything went smoothly and the receipt notices, fingerprint appointment, and work permits all came on time. Prior to the interview, we thoroughly prepared our clients via conference all. On July 14, 2022, our client was interviewed at the Cleveland, OH USCIS. Attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu accompanied our client as well. Eventually, on the same day of the interview, the USCIS approved our client’s adjustment of status application and issued a green card.
