CASE: I-751
APPLICANT: Filipina
LOCATION: Cleveland, OH
Our client contacted our office in late April of 2017 regarding her I-751 application.
She is from the Philippine and she entered to US on a K-1 fiancée visa. She married her current U.S. citizen husband, and she got her green card in August 2015. Our office helped her in the green card process. Her conditional residency terminated in August 2017.
To comply with immigration requirements, our client and her husband had to file an I-751 Joint Petition to Remove Conditions. She retained our office on April 28, 2017, and our office prepared an I-751 application for our client with other supplemental exhibits.
On May 30, 2017, our office filed an I-751 application to the USCIS with multiple affidavits from her friends and family members, joint bank statements, utility bills, joint leasing documents, and photos of our client and her husband to demonstrate the bona fideness of their marriage.
Once the application was filed, the fingerprint notice was issued two weeks later. However, the USCIS issued the Request for Evidence (RFE) to demonstrate the bona fideness of our client’s marriage with her husband. We filed an extensive Response to RFE to the USCIS with more bona fide marital documents on November 5, 2018.
Nonetheless, the USCIS scheduled an interview for our client and her husband. On January 24, 2019, our client and her husband were requested to appear for the interview at the USCIS Cleveland Field Office. Prior to the interview, our office prepared them thoroughly in our office and also accompanied them at the interview as well. The interview went well, and as a result, on the same day of the interview, the USCIS approved our client’s I-751 application.
