CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
NATIONALITY: Cote D’Ivoire
LOCATION: Atlanta, GA
Our client is from Cote D’Ivoire who came to the U.S. on a J-1 Exchange Visitor’s Visa in August 2013. Her J-1 program was not subject to the INA 212(e) two-year foreign residency requirement. In August 2014, our client married her current U.S. citizen husband. She retained our office for her green card application in 2016. Our firm prepared and filed the I-130 Petition and I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on July 7, 2016. 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 via conference call as well. On September 29, 2016, our client was interviewed at Atlanta Georgia USCIS office. Eventually, on October 24, 2016, her green card application was approved.
