CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status (F-2A category)
CLIENT: Zimbabwean
LOCATION: Germantown, MD
Our client came to the United States from the Zimbabwe with a F-1 student visa. He married a lawful permanent resident in February 2020, and retained our office for his green card application on March 22, 2020. Our firm prepared and filed the I-130 Petition and Adjustment of Status Application on April 22, 2020. We could file both I-130 and I-485 applications simultaneously since the priority date for F-2A category was current at the time of the filing. 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 as well. On August 23, 2021, our client was interviewed at Baltimore, MD USCIS office. Eventually, on November 4, 2021, his green card application was approved.
