CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
CLIENT: Filipina
LOCATION: Santa Clara, California
Our Filipina client came to the United States on a B-2 visitor visa in July 2014. Later, she married a U.S. Citizen in September 2014 and retained our office on November 10, 2014 for her green card application. She had previous J-1 visas, but she was not subject. BOTH her DS-2019 and visa stated that she was not subject to the 2-year rule.
Our firm prepared and filed the I-130 Petition and I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on November 13, 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 via conference calls as well. On March 3, 2015, our client was interviewed at the Santa Clara, California USCIS office. Eventually, on the same day, her green card application was approved.
