CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
CLIENT: Ghanaian
LOCATION: Atlanta, GA
Our Ghanaian client came to the United States on a B-2 visitor’s visa in June 2003. She overstayed her status. Later, she married a U.S. Citizen in May 2013. She contacted our office and our client retained our office on September 8, 2014 for the filing of the petition for her and her adjustment of status application.
Our firm prepared and filed the I-130 Petition and I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on October 2, 2014. 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 through conference calls. On January 22, 2015, our client was interviewed at the Atlanta, GA USCIS office. The interview went well, and our clients answered the questions well and demonstrated the bona fide nature of their marital life. Eventually, on the same day, her green card application was approved.
