CASE: Marriage-Based Green Card
CLIENT: Pakistani
LOCATION: Durham, NC
Our client came to the United States from Pakistan on an F-1 student visa. She married her current husband, who is a green card holder, in December 2014. After marriage, her husband filed an I-130 petition on behalf of our client in December 2014. This I-130 petition was approved in April 2015. Our office helped in our client’s I-130 petition process.
Our client retained our office again on September 22, 2015 for her I-485 adjustment of status application. We could file the I-485 application because the priority date for F2A category was current at the time of filing. Our office prepared and filed an I-485 adjustment of status application, together with all necessary supporting documents, on September 29, 2015. 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 call. On December 7, 2016, our client was interviewed at the Durham, NC USCIS office. The interview went well, and the priority date for our client was current at the time of the interview as well. Eventually, on December 19, 2016, her green card application was approved.
