CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
CLIENT: Filipina
LOCATION: Cleveland, OH
Our client came to the United States from the Philippines on a J-1 exchange visa in March 2014. Her J-1 program was not subject to the 2 year foreign residency requirement. She married a U.S. Citizen in June 2015 and retained our office on June 29, 2015 for her green card application. Our firm prepared and filed the I-130 Petition and I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on August 18, 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 as well. On November 9, 2015, our client was interviewed at the Cleveland, Ohio USCIS office. Attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu from our office accompanied our clients as well. Eventually, on December 21, 2015, her green card application was approved.
