    Post image for Adjustment of Status Green Card Approval Based on K-1 Fiancé Visa for Filipino Client in Dallas Texas

    CASE: Adjustment of Status Based on Approved K-1 Visa

    CLIENT: Filipino

    LOCATION: Dallas, TX

    Our client came to the United States in November 2012 as a K-1 visa entrant from the Philippines.  Our client is the beneficiary of an approved I-129F petition. He came to the United States as a K-1 Fiancé of a U.S. Citizen whom he married within 90 days of his entry. By law, if you married your petitioner-fiancé within 90 days of your K-1 visa entry, you are eligible to apply for adjustment of status (green card) in the United States.

    Our client contacted our office initially in the middle of February 2013 and consulted with us for his adjustment of status application. After retention, our firm quickly prepared and filed the I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on March 11, 2013.  Things went smoothly and the receipt notices, and the fingerprint appointment all came on time.

    It is not mandatory to have an adjustment of status interview for an applicant who entered on a K-1 visa.  However, the USCIS may require an interview to test the validity and bona fide nature of the marriage between the Petitioner and Beneficiary. The USCIS did not require an adjustment interview for our client.  On February 19, 2014, his green card application was approved.
