CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
CLIENT: Ghanaian
LOCATION: Cleveland Ohio
Our client came to the United States in July 2011 with a J-1 visa from Ghana. Later, she married a U.S. Citizen in February 2015 and retained our office for her petition and adjustment of status application.
She also asked us to file her daughter’s (Petitioner’s step-daughter) adjustment of status application.
Once retained, our firm prepared and filed the I-130 petition and I-485 adjustment of status application on September 25, 2015. 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 December 3, 2015, our clients were interviewed at the Cleveland, Ohio USCIS office. Attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu from our office accompanied them at their interview as well. On December 11, 2015, our client and her daughter’s green card applications were approved.
