CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
NATIONALITY: Filipina
LOCATION: Solon, OH
Our client is from the Philippines who came to the U.S. on a J-1 exchange visitor’s visa in January 2018. Her J-1 program was not subject to the two-year foreign residency requirement. In July 2019, our client married her current U.S. citizen husband. Once she got married, she retained our office on September 19, 2019 for her green card application. Our firm prepared and filed the I-130 Petition and I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on November 11, 2019. 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 2, 2020, our client was interviewed at the Cleveland, OH USCIS office. Attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu accompanied our clients as well. Eventually, on May 28, 2021, her green card application was approved.
