CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
NATIONALITY: Filipino
LOCATION: Houston, TX
Our client is from the Philippines who came to the U.S. on an H-4 visa in July 2004. Later, he changed his status from H-4 to F-1 and he studied in the United States. In February 2015, our client married his current U.S. citizen wife. He retained our office in March 2015 for his green card application. Our firm prepared and filed the I-130 Petition and I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on April 20, 2015. 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 via conference calls. On November 24, 2015, our client was interviewed at Houston Texas USCIS office. In September 2016, the USCIS issued Request for Evidence and requested our client to do updated medical / vaccination check-up with the USCIS approved civil surgeon. Our client did it and submitted the sealed result to the USCIS Houston Field Office in November 2016. Eventually, on March 20, 2017, his green card application was approved.
