CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
NATIONALITY: Filipina
LOCATION: Cleveland, OH
Our client is from the Philippines who came to the U.S. on a J-1 visa in October 2019. Her J-1 program was not subject to the two-year foreign residency requirement. In April 2021, our client married her U.S. citizen husband. She retained our office on April 20, 2021 for her green card application. Our firm prepared and filed the I-130 Petition and I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on May 21, 2021. Everything went smoothly and the receipt notices, fingerprint appointment, and work permit all came on time. Prior to the interview, we thoroughly prepared our clients via conference call. On November 16, 2021, our client was interviewed at the Cleveland, OH USCIS office. Attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu, Esq. accompanied our clients. However, the USCIS requested an updated I-693 medical record after the interview. Our client got the updated I-693 medical record and submitted it to the USCIS office on November 22, 2021. On January 3, 2022, her green card application was approved.
