CASE: I-485 based on Approved I-140 (EB-2)
APPLICANT: Korean
LOCATION: Lubbock, TX
Our client is an assistant professor from South Korea, who is currently teaching at a state university which was willing to petition him for a second-preference I-140. Our client has a Ph.D. and has worked for this school since 2021. He has maintained his status as an H-1B visa holder in the United States. He had an approved I-140 petition which his current employer filed and the priority date was April 6, 2022.
In August 2023, he contacted our office and retained us for the I-485 adjustment of status application for him and his wife. Our office filed an I-485 application for our clients on November 13, 2023. All went well and the receipt notices and fingerprint appointment came on time. On February 1, 2024, his green card application was approved.
