CASE: Asylee Adjustment of Status
CLIENT: Saudi Arabian
LOCATION: Dallas, Texas
Our client came to the United States from Saudi Arabia with a B-2 visitor’s visa, and through our legal assistance, he won his asylum application in December 2014.
Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, an asylee may apply for lawful permanent resident status after he or she has been physically present in the United States for a period of one year after the date he or she was granted asylum status. Around February 2016, one year after he got his asylee status in the United States, our client contacted our office again and sought legal assistance for his adjustment of status. We prepared and filed his I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on March 30, 2016. Everything went smoothly and the receipt notice and fingerprint appointment all came on time. On June 9, 2016, the USCIS approved our client’s Adjustment of Status application. He is now a permanent resident of the United States.
