CASE: Marriage-Based Green Card
CLIENT: Filipino
LOCATION: Kenosha, WI
Our client came to the United States from the Philippines with a B-2 visitor’s visa. He married his current wife, who was a green card holder, in June 2016. After the marriage, his wife filed an I-130 petition on behalf of our client in November 2016. This I-130 petition was approved in March 2018. While this I-130 petition was pending, our client overstayed his B-2 authorized stay period. Nevertheless, his wife became a naturalized U.S. citizen in August 2019.
Our client retained our office for his I-485 adjustment of status application. Our office prepared and filed an I-485 adjustment of status application, together with all necessary supporting documents on September 25, 2019. 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 via conference calls. On February 12, 2020, our client was interviewed at the Milwaukee, WI USCIS office. Eventually, on the same day, his green card application was approved.
