St. Lucia Client Approved for Green Card in Just Three Months After Tricky Entry Record
Getting a green card quickly is rare and doing it with a complicated entry record takes strategy and proof.
His Story
Our client is a citizen of St. Lucia who first entered the United States with a B-2 visitor visa, then traveled to Canada for a weekend just a few days later before returning to the U.S. shortly after.
At the port of entry, the officer noted that he had entered only days earlier and waived him back in without issuing a new I-94 or adding a new passport stamp, which could have created serious questions later about his return and admission.
Fortunately, our client kept his bus ticket from Canada, which helped document his return to the United States and supported the timeline of his travel.
He later married a U.S. citizen and filed an I-130 petition that was approved.
How We Helped
He then came to McBean Law for a consultation in August 2025 so we could evaluate his eligibility and plan the next steps carefully.
We analyzed his entry history in detail, including the Canada trip and the lack of a new I-94 to ensure he remained eligible for adjustment of status. We also made sure all financial sponsorship requirements were met with complete, compliant I-864 documentation.
We filed the I-485 application in November, and his interview was scheduled quickly.
The Outcome
The case was approved the very next day!
This case is another example of how documentation, preparation, and attention to detail can make all the difference, especially when the paper trail is not perfect.
If you are married to a U.S. citizen and have concerns about your entry record, missing I-94 documentation, or travel history, contact McBean Law to discuss your options.
