CASE: I-751
APPLICANT: Ghanaian
LOCATION: Cleveland, Ohio
Our client contacted our office in early May this year regarding his I-751 application.
He is from Ghana, married to a U.S. citizen since August 2009. Through his marriage, he obtained a 2-year conditional green card in July of 2011. His conditional residency terminated in July 2013.
To comply with immigration requirements, our client and his wife had to file an I-751 Joint Petition to Remove Conditions. He retained our office on May 14, 2013 and our office prepared an I-751 application for our client with other supplemental exhibits.
On June 7, 2013, our office filed an I-751 application to the USCIS with multiple affidavits from his friends and family members, joint tax filing records, a birth certificate of their child, joint bank statements, utility bills, insurance policies, and photos of our client and his wife to demonstrate the bona fideness of their marriage.
Once the application was filed, the fingerprint notice was issued two weeks later. There was no RFE issuance for our client’s I-751 application. On August 29, 2013, our client and his wife were requested to appear for an interview at the USCIS Cleveland Office. Prior to the interview, our office prepared them thoroughly. We also accompanied them at the interview as well. The interview went well, and as a result, on the same day, the USCIS approved our client’s I-751 application and our client received his 10-year green card.
