CASE: I-130 (Petition for Mother) and Adjustment of Status
CLIENT: Filipina
LOCATION: California
Our client retained us to petition for her mother for a green card. Our client’s daughter was born and raised in the Philippines, but was naturalized in the United States in February 2015 through our firm’s legal assistance. She contacted our office in late February of 2015 and discussed with us the green card process. After consultation, she retained our office on March 1, 2015.
Once retained, our firm prepared and filed the I-130 Petition and I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on March 18, 2015. Everything went smoothly and the receipt notices, fingerprint appointment, and work permit all came on time. On October 19, 2015, our client appeared at her I-485 adjustment of status interview at Santa Ana, California USCIS Field Office. Prior to the interview, our office prepared her with possible interview questions via conference calls. Eventually, on December 16, 2015, our client’s adjustment of status application was approved. Now, she is a green card holder.
