CASE: Asylee Adjustment of Status
CLIENT: Chinese
LOCATION: Fremont, CA
Our client came to the United States from China and was granted asylum in November 2019.
Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, an asylee may apply for lawful permanent resident status after he or she has been physically present in the United States for a period of one year after the date he or she was granted asylum status. Around November 2020, our client contacted our office again and sought legal assistance for his adjustment of status. We prepared and filed his I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on November 13, 2020. Everything went smoothly and the receipt notice and fingerprint appointment all came on time.
On April 11, 2022, the USCIS approved our client’s Adjustment of Status application without an interview. He is now a permanent resident of the United States.
