CASE: Marriage-Based Green Card
CLIENT: Russian
LOCATION: Cleveland, Ohio
Our client came to the United States in June 2006 with a J-1 Exchange Visitor’s visa from Russia to do her training program in the United States. Her J-1 program did not subject to the INA Section 212(e) two-year foreign residency requirement. After she completed her J-1 program, she remained in the United States.
She married a U.S. Citizen in July 2013. Our client retained our office on July 8, 2013 for her I-130 petition and I-485 adjustment of status application. Our firm prepared and filed the I-130 petition and I-485 adjustment of status application, together with all necessary supporting documents, on August 14, 2013. Everything went smoothly and the receipt notices, fingerprint appointment, and work permits all came on time. There were no requests for evidence.
Prior to the interview, we thoroughly prepared our clients at our office. On October 31, 2013, our client was interviewed at the Cleveland, Ohio USCIS office. Attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu accompanied them as well. On November 7, 2013, her green card application was approved.
