CASE: I-751
APPLICANT: Russian
LOCATION: Cleveland, OH
Our client contacted our office in July of 2015 regarding her I-751 application.
She is from Russia and married a U.S. citizen in July 2013. Through her marriage, she obtained a 2-year conditional green card in November of 2013. Our office helped her in the green card process. Her conditional residency terminated in November 2015.
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 August 10, 2015 and our office prepared an I-751 application for our client with supplemental exhibits.
On September 3, 2015, 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 insurance 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 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 April 29, 2016.
Eventually, on May 24, 2016, the USCIS approved our client’s I-751 application.
