CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
NATIONALITY: Nigerian
LOCATION: Cleveland, Ohio
Our client is from Nigeria who came to the U.S. on a B-2 visitor’s visa in June 2015. Since then, he has remained in the United States after his authorized stay period expired. In January 2016, our client married his current U.S. citizen wife. He retained our office in October 2016 for his green card application. Our firm prepared and filed the I-130 Petition and I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on December 20, 2016. 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 April 17, 2017, our client was interviewed at Cleveland Ohio USCIS office. Attorney JP Sarmiento from our office also accompanied our clients as well. Eventually, on May 3, 2017, his green card application was approved.
