CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
NATIONALITY: Filipina
LOCATION: Birmingham, AL
Our client is from the Philippines who came to the U.S. on an H-1B visa in October 2009. Since then, she has remained in the United States and worked as a high school teacher in Birmingham, AL. In July 2016, our client married her current U.S. citizen husband. She retained our office in July 2016 for her green card application. Our firm prepared and filed the I-130 Petition and I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on July 22, 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 via conference calls. On February 27, 2017, our client was interviewed at the Atlanta, Georgia USCIS office. Attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu from our office also accompanied our clients as well. Eventually, on the same day of the interview, her green card application was approved.
