Today, we share the success story of a client who originally entered the U.S. on an H-2B Temporary Non-Agricultural Worker visa, faced employment termination, and pursued her U.S. green card dreams through a marriage-based petition.
This journey began in November 2021 when our client entered the United States under the H-2B visa. She was terminated within a month due to an altercation that negatively affected her professional image.
She was given two options: accept a one-way ticket back to Jamaica or stay in the U.S. with family. She decided to stay.
In 2022, she met her partner on an online dating app, and their love story began. The happy couple tied the knot at the end of September 2022.
She reached out to us in April 2023, seeking legal advice and professional guidance for submitting an Adjustment of Status case.
In August 2023, our legal team submitted her case to USCIS. This package included the marriage certificate, divorce documents, property taxes, mail received at the marital address, joint bank statements, letters of support, text messages between the couple, as well as photos with family and friends, including their wedding photos.
The same month, USCIS produced receipts for her Adjustment of Status case. By the end of August, within a month of filing, USCIS issued her biometrics notice as well. Unfortunately, she missed her biometrics appointment.
Our legal team helped her address this problem, and USCIS sent her a second biometrics appointment notice in December 2023.
In February 2024, her I-485 and I-130 were approved without an interview, less than six months after filing! This amazing story is another example of how an experienced legal team can help you navigate the marriage petition process with confidence.
