CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
NATIONALITY: Ghanaian
LOCATION: Columbus, OH
Our client is from Ghana who came to the U.S. on a J-2 visa in February 2012. In February 2020, our client married his U.S. citizen wife. He retained our office on November 5, 2020 for his green card application. Our firm prepared and filed the I-130 Petition and I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on December 4, 2020. Everything went smoothly and the receipt notices, fingerprint appointment notices, and the employment authorization document all came on time. Prior to the interview, we prepared our clients at our office via conference calls. On November 10, 2021, our client was interviewed at the Columbus, OH USCIS office.
However, the USCIS office issued a Request for Evidence (RFE) after the interview. The USCIS office specifically requested our client to submit more bona fide marital documents between him and his wife. Our office filed the Response to RFE on January 10, 2022. On February 1, 2022, his green card application was approved.
