CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
CLIENT: Filipina
LOCATION: Springfield, GA
Our client came to the United States in March 2019 with a J-1 Exchange Visitor visa from the Philippines. Her J-1 visa was not subject to the two-year foreign residency requirement, so she could apply for adjustment of status in the United States without a waiver. She married a U.S. Citizen in June 2019 and retained our office on July 23, 2019 for her adjustment of status application. Our firm prepared and filed the I-130 Petition and I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on October 9, 2019. Everything went smoothly and the receipt notices, the fingerprint appointment, and the work permit all came on time. There was no Request for Evidence. Prior to the interview, we thoroughly prepared our clients via conference calls. On February 18, 2020, our client was interviewed at the Charleston, South Carolina USCIS Field Office. On the same day of the interview, her green card application was approved.
