CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
CLIENT: Filipina
LOCATION: Boston, MA
Our client came to the United States from the Philippines on a B-2 visitor’s visa in June 2014. After her authorized stay period expired, she remained in the United States. She married a U.S. Citizen in May 2015 and retained our office for her green card application. Our firm prepared and filed the I-130 Petition and I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on October 16, 2015. 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 calls. On May 5, 2016, our client was interviewed at the Boston, Massachusetts USCIS office. The interview went well, but the USCIS requested our clients to submit more bona fide marital evidence. In response to the RFE, our client submitted more bona fide marital evidence to the USCIS Boston Field Office. Eventually, on May 31, 2016, her green card application was approved.
