CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
CLIENT: Chinese
LOCATION: Cleveland, OH
Our client came to the United States in 2011 on an F-1 student visa from China to study in the United States. He married a U.S. Citizen in April 2013 and retained our office on December 15, 2015 for his petition and adjustment of status application. Our firm prepared and filed the I-130 petition and I-485 adjustment of status application on December 23, 2015. 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 March 31, 2016, our client was interviewed at the Cleveland, Ohio USCIS office. Attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu from our office accompanied our client as well.
However, on April 27, 2016, the USCIS issued Request for Evidence (RFE) for our client to submit his response for the reason why he did not continuously study at the school that he attended in the U.S. Our office assisted him to draft his affidavit and filed the Response to RFE on June 2, 2016.
Eventually, on November 22, 2016, his green card application was approved.
