CASE: I-485 based on Approved I-140 (EB-2)
APPLICANT: Korean
LOCATION: Bowling Green, Ohio
Our client is an assistant professor from South Korea, who is currently teaching at a state university which was willing to petition her for a second-preference petition (I-140). Our client has a Ph.D. degree and has worked for this school since 2017. She has maintained her status as an H-1B visa holder in the United States. She had an approved I-140 petition which was filed by her current employer and this I-140 petition’s priority date was June 12, 2018.
In November 2018, she contacted our office and retained us for her I-485 adjustment of status application. Our office filed an I-485 adjustment of status application for our client on March 14, 2019. Everything went smoothly and the receipt notices and fingerprint appointment came on time.
Prior to the interview, we thoroughly prepared our client via conference call as well. On September 17, 2019, our client was interviewed at Cleveland Ohio USCIS office. Attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu from our office also accompanied our client as well. Though her interview went well, the visa numbers were not available for her case in September of 2019. Nevertheless, on November 15, 2019, her green card application was approved.
