CASE: I-751
APPLICANT: Korean
LOCATION: Cuyahoga Falls, OH
Our client contacted our office in December of 2018 regarding her I-751 application.
She is from South Korea and she married a U.S. citizen in September 2016. Through her marriage, she obtained a 2-year conditional green card in February of 2017. Her conditional residency terminated in February 2019.
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 December 11, 2018 and our office prepared an I-751 application for our client with all requirements.
On December 20, 2018, our office filed an I-751 application to the USCIS with multiple affidavits from her friends and family members, joint bank statements, joint taxes, 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 and extended our client’s LPR status. However, the USCIS issued a 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 September 3, 2020.
Eventually, on September 23, 2020, the USCIS approved our client’s I-751 application and our client received her 10-year green card which removed the conditions.
