What if your future in the U.S. depended on more than paperwork—on trust, timing, and quiet perseverance?
That’s the journey our Brazilian client has walked—quietly, steadily, and with remarkable resilience. She first arrived in the U.S. in 2017 as an au pair on a J-1 visa, then transitioned to F-1 student status to pursue a degree. She was never in a rush—but she always had a vision.
In July 2020, she met her future husband through friends at a summer retreat in upstate New York. They connected instantly. A year later, in 2021, they were married. A few months after that, they moved in together—renting a basement apartment with no formal lease, doing life on their terms.
They didn’t have a perfect setup. He lost work during the pandemic. She couldn’t work at all due to her F-1 visa. But they made it work—he covered tuition, bills, and every shared expense without hesitation. Supporting her wasn’t a burden. It was his choice.
Behind the scenes, though, she was navigating something equally complex: the quiet stress of being in legal limbo. When it came time to apply for her green card, she was overwhelmed by the thought of a USCIS interview. Would she be able to get through it? Would her anxiety sabotage the process?
We were there for her—not just legally, but emotionally. She was nervous, but we walked her through the process and helped her feel more confident.
We filed her marriage-based adjustment of status application in April 2025.
Surprisingly, her interview was scheduled for the end of June. Her green card was approved just a week later!
After years of studying, staying compliant, and building a life with her husband, she is now a U.S. lawful permanent resident.
This win was about more than immigration—it was about security, partnership, and a future finally within reach.
