CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
NATIONALITY: Pakistani
LOCATION: Houston, TX
Our client is from Pakistan who has worked in the United States under J-1 status. In July 2012, our client is married her current U.S. citizen husband. She could not file her adjustment of status application due to her 2 year foreign residency requirement. With our office’s legal assistance, she obtained her J-1 hardship waiver in June 2017.
Once her J-1 waiver was issued, she retained our office on July 10, 2017 for her green card application. Our firm prepared and filed the I-130 Petition and Adjustment of Status Application on July 19, 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 via conference call. On January 8, 2019, our client was interviewed at Houston Texas USCIS office. Eventually, on January 24, 2019, her green card application was approved.
