CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
CLIENT: South African
LOCATION: New York
Our client came to the United States in August 2015 on a B-2 visitor’s visa from South Africa. Later, she married a U.S. Citizen in February 2016 and retained our office for her petition and adjustment of status application.
She also asked us to file her son’s (Petitioner’s step-son) adjustment of status application.
Once retained, our firm prepared and filed the I-130 petition and I-485 adjustment of status application on August 4, 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 through conference calls. On January 18, 2017, our clients were interviewed at the Latham, New York USCIS office. The interview went well, and our client and her son’s green card applications were approved on the same day of the interview.
