CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
NATIONALITY: Irish
LOCATION: Cleveland, OH
Our client is from Ireland who came to the U.S. on a K-1 Fiancé Visa in December 2017. Within the 90 days of his entry (in January 2018), our client is married his current U.S. citizen wife. Since our client was a K-1 visa entrant, the I-130 petition is not needed to be filed. However, our client did not file his adjustment of status application before his K-1 visa expired.
He retained our office for his green card application on March 14, 2018. Our firm prepared and filed the I-130 Petition and Adjustment of Status Application on May 1, 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 as well. On July 18, 2018, our client was interviewed at the Cleveland USCIS office. Attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu also accompanied our clients as well. Eventually, on August 2, 2018, his green card application was approved.
