CASE: I-485 Adjustment of Status / Motion to Terminate Removal Proceedings Based on an Approved I-130 Immediate Relative Spousal Petition
CLIENT: Egyptian
LOCATION: Cleveland, OH
Our client is an Egyptian citizen who came to the U.S. on a B-2 Visitor’s Visa in 2014. Our client and her US Citizen husband married in April 2013. Her husband filed an I-130 petition for in December 2014; however, while the I-130 petition was pending, our client was placed in removal proceedings due to her overstay. Our client retained our office for the representation at her removal proceedings and the I-130 petition for her. We accompanied them at their I-130 interview on October 5, 2017 at the Cleveland USCIS Field Office and this I-130 petition was subsequently approved by the USCIS on October 13, 2017.
On November 2, 2017, our office filed a request to join in a Motion to terminate proceedings with the I-485 application and supporting documents. The DHS joined Motion to terminate proceedings after our inquiry, and the Immigration Judge granted the Motion to terminate without prejudice in March 2018.
After her removal proceeding was terminated, our client retained us again for her I-485 adjustment of status application. Our firm prepared and filed the I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on March 23, 2018. Everything went smoothly and the receipt notices, fingerprint appointment, and work permit all came on time. Prior to the interview, we thoroughly prepared our clients at our office. On August 24, 2018, our client was interviewed at the USCIS Cleveland Field Office. Attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu from our office accompanied our clients. Eventually, on September 10, 2018, her green card application was approved.
