CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
CLIENT: Russian
LOCATION: Cleveland, OH
Our client came to the United States from Russia on a valid J-1 visa to participate in an exchange program in June 2008. Since then, she has remained in the United States even after her authorized stay expired.
She married a U.S. Citizen in April 2013 and retained our office on April 9, 2013 for her adjustment of status application. Our firm prepared and filed the I-130 Petition and I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on April 22, 2013. 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 through conference calls.
On July 8, 2013, our client was interviewed at the Cleveland, OH USCIS.
Attorney JP Sarmiento from our office accompanied them as well. On the same day, her green card application was approved.
