CASE: I-751
APPLICANT: Korean
LOCATION: Cleveland, OH
Our client contacted our office in late September of 2014 regarding his I-751 application.
He is from South Korea and married a U.S. citizen in December 2011. Through his marriage, he obtained a 2-year conditional green card in November of 2012. Our office helped him with his green card application. His conditional residency terminated in November 2014.
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 October 1, 2014 and our office prepared an I-751 application for our client with other supplemental exhibits.
On October 2, 2014, our office filed an I-751 application to the USCIS with multiple affidavits from his friends and family members, joint bank statements, utility bills, joint leasing documents, 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. However, the USCIS issued a Request for Evidence (RFE) to demonstrate the bona fideness of our client’s marriage with his wife. We filed an extensive Response to RFE to the USCIS with more bona fide marital documents on April 29, 2015.
Nonetheless, the USCIS scheduled an interview for our client and his wife. On June 4, 2015, our client and his wife were requested to appear for an interview at the USCIS Cleveland Field Office. Prior to the interview, our office prepared them thoroughly in our office and also accompanied them at the interview as well. The interview went well, and as a result, on the same day of the interview, the USCIS approved our client’s I-751 application.
