CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
NATIONALITY: Iran
LOCATION: Cleveland, OH
Our client is from Iran who came to the U.S. on a J-1 exchange visitor’s visa to pursue his research project. His J-1 program was not subject to the INA 212(e) two year foreign residency requirement. In January 2018, our client married his current U.S. citizen wife. He retained our office on January 23, 2018 for his green card application. Our firm prepared and filed the I-130 Petition and I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on February 21, 2018. 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 August 24, 2018, our client was interviewed at Cleveland Ohio USCIS office. Attorney JP Sarmiento from our office accompanied our clients at their interview as well. Eventually, on the same day of his interview, his green card application was approved.
