CASE: Adjustment of Status at Removal Proceeding
CLIENT: Ukrainian
LOCATION: Cleveland, OH
Our client came to the United States in April 2009 with a J-1 exchange visitor’s visa from Ukraine. His J-1 visa did not make him subject to the 2-year foreign residency requirement. Later, he filed an asylum and his asylum interview was conducted by the USCIS. His case was referred to the Cleveland Immigration Court. His case was administratively closed in March 2016.
He married a U.S. Citizen in January 2017. Our client’s wife filed an I-130 petition on behalf of our client, and this I-130 petition was approved by USCIS in October 2018. Once the I-130 petition was approved, he client retained our office in December 2018 for his removal proceedings.
Our office prepared and filed a Motion to Recalendar to the Cleveland Immigration Court on December 5, 2018. His case was recalendared to the immigration judge’s docket and our office prepared and filed an I-485 Adjustment of Status Application.
On January 4, 2021, Attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu represented our client’s at his Individual Hearing for adjustment of status at the Cleveland Immigration Court. The Immigration Judge granted our client’s adjustment of status relief. Our client’s removal proceeding has been terminated. Now, our client is a green card holder.
