CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
NATIONALITY: Pakistani
LOCATION: Cleveland, OH
Our client from Pakistan came to the U.S. on an F-1 student visa to pursue his master’s degree in the U.S. In December 2017, our client married his U.S. citizen wife. He retained our office on April 25, 2018 for his green card application. Our firm prepared and filed the I-130 Petition and I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on June 6, 2018. 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 at our office. On August 21, 2018, our client was interviewed at the Cleveland Ohio USCIS office. Attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu from our office accompanied our clients as well.
However, the USCIS issued the request for evidence (RFE) on August 23, 2018 and requested our client to explain the circumstances of his previous F-1 visa denial. We helped our client to draft an affidavit and filed the response to RFE on August 28, 2018. Eventually, on November 8, 2018, his green card application was approved.
