CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
NATIONALITY: Filipina
LOCATION: Santa Ana, CA
Our client is from the Philippines who came to the U.S. on an E-1 dependent visa. Later, she changed her status from E-1 to F-1 to pursue her undergraduate studies. In November 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 5, 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 via conference calls. On October 13, 2017, our client was interviewed at Santa Ana, California USCIS Field office. Eventually, on October 18, 2017, her green card application was approved.
