CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
CLIENT: Malaysian
LOCATION: Altamonte Springs, FL
Our client came to the United States in February 2016 with a J-1 Exchange Visitor visa from Malaysia. 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 May 2018 and retained our office on February 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 March 25, 2019. Everything went smoothly and the receipt notices, the fingerprint appointment, and the work permit all came on time. Prior to the interview, we thoroughly prepared our clients via conference calls. On January 30, 2020, our client was interviewed at the Orlando, Florida USCIS Field Office. On the same day of the interview, her green card application was approved.
