CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
NATIONALITY: Nigerian
LOCATION: North Randall, OH
Our client is from Nigeria who came to the U.S. on an F-1 student visa to pursue his undergraduate’s degree in the U.S. In July 2018, our client is married his current U.S. citizen wife. He retained our office on November 19, 2018 for his green card application. Our firm prepared and filed the I-130 Petition and I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on January 11, 2019. 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 May 3, 2019, our client was interviewed at Cleveland Ohio USCIS office. Attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu from our office accompanied our clients as well.
However, the USCIS issued a request for evidence (RFE) on May 13, 2019, and requested our client to submit signed affidavits from Petitioner’s parents regarding our client’s marital life. We helped our client to draft an affidavit and filed the response to RFE to USCIS on June 4, 2019. Eventually, on June 17, 2019, his green card application was approved.
