CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
NATIONALITY: Russian
LOCATION: Cleveland, OH
Our client is from Russia who came to the U.S. on a J-1 exchange visitor’s visa in June 2010. She had a complex immigration case, having filed a VAWA I-360 before that got denied, before retaining us. In September 2015, our client married her current U.S. citizen husband. She retained our office in October 2015 for her green card application. Our firm prepared and filed the I-130 Petition and I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on February 29, 2016. 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 at our office. On January 13, 2017, our client was interviewed at the Cleveland Ohio USCIS office. Attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu also accompanied our clients. In November 2017, the USCIS issued a Request for Evidence and requested our client to do updated medical / vaccination check-up with the USCIS approved civil surgeon. Our client did it and submitted the sealed result to the USCIS Cleveland Field Office. Eventually, on December 11, 2017, her green card application was approved.
