Marriage to US Citizen Green Card Approval for Filipino Client in Newark New Jersey

CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status

CLIENT: Filipino

LOCATION: Newark, NJ

Our client came to the United States in January 2007 on a B-2 visitor’s visa from the Philippines. He remained in US past the expiration of his I-94. Later, he married a U.S. Citizen in May 2015 and retained our office for his petition and adjustment of status application.

Once retained, our firm prepared and filed the I-130 petition and I-485 adjustment of status application on July 20, 2015. Everything went smoothly and the receipt notices, fingerprint appointment, and work permits all came on time. There were no requests for evidence.

Prior to the interview, we thoroughly prepared our clients via conference calls. On April 7, 2016, our clients were interviewed at the Newark, New Jersey USCIS office. After the interview, our client’s green card application was approved.
