CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
NATIONALITY: Filipina
LOCATION: Indiana
Our client is from the Philippines who came to the U.S. on a J-1 exchange visitor’s visa in October 2014. She was not subject to the 2-year foreign residency requirement (INA Section 212(e)). In September 2016, our client married her U.S. citizen husband. She retained our office for her green card application. Our firm prepared and filed the I-130 Petition and I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on February 21, 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 via conference calls. On May 31, 2018, our client was interviewed at the Indianapolis, Indiana USCIS office. Eventually, on December 12, 2018, her green card application was approved.
