CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
CLIENT: Japanese
LOCATION: Cleveland, OH
Our Japanese client came to the United States on a J-1 exchange visitor visa to teach Japanese in the United States. She was not subject to the two-year foreign residency requirement. She married a U.S. Citizen in December 2014 and retained our office on February 1, 2015 for her adjustment of status application. Our firm prepared and filed the I-130 Petition and Adjustment of Status Application on February 19, 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 May 15, 2015, our client was interviewed at the Cleveland, OH USCIS office. Attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu from our office accompanied our clients as well. On May 27, 2015, her green card application was approved.
