CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
CLIENT: Filipina
LOCATION: Miami, FL
Our Filipina client came to the United States on a B-2 visitor visa in June 2014. Later, she married a U.S. Citizen in September 2014 and retained our office on September 29, 2014 for her green card application. Once retained, our firm prepared and filed the I-130 Petition and I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on November 26, 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 2, 2015, our client was interviewed at the Miami, FL USCIS office.
However, after the interview, the USCIS officer requested more evidence to show the bona fide nature of our client’s marriage to her U.S. citizen husband. With our guidance, our client prepared and submitted more evidence to show the bona fide nature of her marriage. Eventually, on May 11, 2015, the USCIS approved our client’s I-485 adjustment of status application. Now, she is a green card holder.
