CASE: Asylee Adjustment of Status
CLIENT: Chinese
LOCATION: Virginia
Our client came to the United States in January 2011 after she was granted derivative asylum status as the spouse of an asylee. Her husband was granted asylum in February 2010.
Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, an asylee may apply for lawful permanent resident status after he or she has been physically present in the United States for a period of one year after the date he or she was granted asylum status. This also applies for derivatives.
In February 2012, one year after she entered the United States, our client contacted our office and sought legal assistance for her adjustment of status application. Our office was retained on February 8, 2012, and we prepared and filed her I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on February 29, 2012. Everything went smoothly and the receipt notice and fingerprint appointment all came on time. On August 30, 2012, the USCIS approved our client’s Adjustment of Status application. She’s now a permanent resident of the United States.
