CASE: I-485 based on Approved I-140 (EB-3)
APPLICANT: Korean
LOCATION: Cleveland, OH
Our client is a chemist from South Korea, who is currently working at a large chemical company which was willing to petition her for a third-preference petition (I-140). Our client has a Bachelor of Science degree and has worked for this company since she completed her undergraduate program. She has maintained her status as an H-1B visa holder in the United States. She had an approved I-140 petition which was filed by her current employer and this I-140 petition’s priority date was August 9, 2012.
In March of this year, her priority date became current. She contacted our office and retained us for her I-485 adjustment of status application. Our office filed an I-485 adjustment of status application for our client on March 17, 2014. Everything went smoothly and the receipt notices and fingerprint appointment came on time.
Eventually, on May 27, 2014, the USCIS Nebraska Service Center approved our client’s adjustment of status application. She is now a green card holder.
