CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
CLIENT: Filipina
LOCATION: Des Moines, IA
Our client came to the United States in March 2013 with a H-1B visa from the Philippines. Later, she married a U.S. Citizen in December 2017 and retained our office for her petition and adjustment of status application. She also asked us to file her minor daughter’s (Petitioner’s step-daughter) adjustment of status application.
Once retained, our firm prepared and filed the I-130 petition and I-485 adjustment of status application on August 8, 2018. Everything went smoothly and the receipt notices, fingerprint appointment, and work permits all came on time. There were no requests for evidence.
Prior to the interview, we thoroughly prepared our clients via conference calls. On May 21, 2019, our clients were interviewed at the Des Moines, Iowa USCIS office. On the same day of their interview, our client and her daughter’s green card applications were approved.
