CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
NATIONALITY: Filipina
LOCATION: Cleveland, Ohio
Our client is from the Philippines who came to the U.S. on a B-2 visitor’s visa in December 2015. Since then, she has remained in the United States after her authorized stay period expired. In December 2016, our client married her current U.S. citizen husband. She retained our office in December 2016 for her green card application. Our firm prepared and filed the I-130 Petition and I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on January 11, 2017. 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 as well. On April 13, 2017, our client was interviewed at Cleveland Ohio USCIS office. Attorney JP Sarmiento from our office also accompanied our clients as well. Eventually, on the same day of the interview, her green card application was approved.
