CASE: Marriage-Based Petition and Adjustment of status / I-130 / I-485
CLIENT: Vietnamese
LOCATION: Cleveland, OH
Our client came to the United States from Vietnam with a B-2 visitor’s visa in August 2016. Later, she married her current husband, who was a green card holder at the time of filing, in September 2016. Her husband filed an I-130 petition for her under the F2A category in February 2017.
Later, her husband became a naturalized U.S. Citizen in April 2017.
Our client retained our office in April 2017 for her I-485 adjustment of status application. Our office prepared and filed an I-485 adjustment of status application, together with all necessary supporting documents and pending I-130 petition, on April 14, 2017. We let USCIS office know that the pending I-130 petition should be changed to “Immediate Relative” category since the Petitioner became a U.S. citizen. 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 calls. On May 31, 2018, our client was interviewed at the Cleveland, Ohio USCIS office. Attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu accompanied our clients. Eventually, on June 5, 2018, the USCIS approved our client’s green card application.
