CASE: I-751
APPLICANT: Jamaican
LOCATION: New York, NY
Our client contacted our office in early February of 2014 regarding her I-751 application.
She is from Jamaica and she married a U.S. citizen in July 2011. Through her marriage, she obtained a 2-year conditional green card in April 2012. Our office helped her in the green card process. Her conditional residency terminated in April 2014.
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 February 19, 2014 and our office prepared an I-751 application for our client with other supplemental exhibits.
On March 31, 2014, our office filed an I-751 application to the USCIS with multiple affidavits from her friends and family members, joint tax filing records, joint bank statements, utility bills, insurance policies, 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 25, 2014.
Nonetheless, the USCIS scheduled an interview for our client and her husband. On March 11, 2015, our client and her husband were requested to appear for the interview at the USCIS New York City Office. Prior to the interview, our office prepared them thoroughly via conference calls 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. On April 20, 2015, our client received her 10-year green card which removed the conditions.
