CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
NATIONALITY: Korean
LOCATION: Sarasota, FL
Our client is from South Korea who came to the U.S. on an O-1 visa. He is an internationally well-known musician and was working with the Cleveland Orchestra when he contacted our office. In June 2015, our client married his current U.S. citizen wife. He retained our office for his green card application in September 2016. Our firm prepared and filed the I-130 Petition and I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on September 28, 2016. Everything went smoothly and the receipt notices, fingerprint appointment, and work permits all came on time.
In January 2017, he moved to Sarasota, FL to join his wife who was working there. In November 2017, his interview was scheduled. Prior to the interview, we thoroughly prepared our clients via conference calls. On December 14, 2017, our client was interviewed at the Tampa Florida USCIS office. Attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu from our office also accompanied our clients as well. Eventually, on the same day of his interview, his green card application was approved.
