CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
NATIONALITY: Jamaican
LOCATION: Cleveland, Ohio
Our client is from Jamaica who came to the U.S. on a J-1 exchange visitor’s visa in June 2015. Her J-1 program was not subject to the 212(e), two-year foreign residency requirement. In February 2017, our client married her current U.S. citizen husband. She retained our office on March 24, 2017 for her green card application. Our firm prepared and filed the I-130 Petition and I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on May 23, 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 at our office as well. On August 28, 2017, our client was interviewed at the Cleveland Ohio USCIS office. Attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu from our office accompanied our clients as well. Eventually, on August 30, 2017, her green card application was approved.
