CASE: I-485 Adjustment of Status / Termination of Removal Proceedings with an Approved I-130 Petition
CLIENT: Filipina
LOCATION: Cleveland, Ohio
Our client is from the Philippines who came to the U.S. on a B-2 Visitor’s Visa in March 2009. She remained in the United States after her authorized stay expired. Because of her overstay, she was placed in removal proceedings in Cleveland, Ohio.
Our client married her U.S. citizen husband in April 2011 in Ohio. Her husband filed an I-130 petition on her behalf after they got married. Eventually, our client’s I-130 petition was approved in June 2012. Unfortunately, after being in Court prior to our retention about 4 to 5 times, she could not get her case terminated.
She contacted our office around September 2012 to seek legal assistance. She retained our office in October 1, 2012.
After our office was retained, we prepared and filed a request to join in a Motion to Terminate proceedings with an attached I-485 application and its supporting documents to the Cleveland Immigration Court. The DHS counsel in Cleveland agreed to terminate our client’s proceedings. Eventually, the Immigration Judge granted the Motion to terminate without prejudice on February 5, 2013.
Once her case was terminated with the Immigration Court, our office prepared and filed the I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on February 25, 2013, together with other necessary forms and supporting documents. 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 10, 2013, our client was interviewed at the Cleveland CIS office. Our attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu accompanied them as well. Our client was fully prepared and the interview went well. On May 17, 2013, her green card application was approved.
