CASE: I-130 (Petitions for Parent) and Adjustment of Status
CLIENT: Filipina
LOCATION: Arlington, VA
In 2017, our client retained us to petition her mother. Our client was born and raised in the Philippines, but was naturalized in the United States. Upon retention, our firm prepared and filed the I-130 petition for her mother on January 9, 2017. Eventually, the I-130 petition was approved in December 2017.
Our client’ mother works for an international organization on a G-4 visa. With frequent international work-related travel, she could not proceed with her adjustment of status application. In early 2019, she contacted our office again for the preparation and filing of her adjustment of status. Our office filed her I-485 adjustment of status application on February 19, 2019. Everything went smoothly and the receipt notices, fingerprint appointment, and work permits all came on time. Eventually, on August 2, 2019, our client’s mother’s adjustment of status applications was approved.
