CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
CLIENT: Bulgarian
LOCATION: Sandusky, OH 

Our client came to the United States in May 2016 on a J-1 Exchange Visitor visa from Bulgaria.  She was not subject to the two-year foreign residency requirement, so she could apply for adjustment of status in the United States without a waiver.  She married a U.S. Citizen in July 2018 and retained our office on October 16, 2018 for her adjustment of status application.  Our firm prepared and filed the I-130 Petition and I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on November 7, 2018.  Everything went smoothly and the receipt notices, fingerprint appointment, and work permit all came on time. There was no Request for Evidence.  Prior to the interview, we thoroughly prepared our clients at our office. On May 9, 2019, our client was interviewed at the Cleveland, Ohio USCIS Field Office.  Attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu from our office accompanied them at the interview as well.  On May 9, 2019, her green card application was approved.

CASE: H-1B Visa Petition
PETITIONER:  Consulting Company
BENEFICIARY: Bulgarian Management Analyst

Our client is a consulting company located in Cleveland, Ohio.  They contacted our office in February of this year to seek legal assistance from our office for their foreign employee.  The beneficiary obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Finance in Bulgaria and her MBA degree in the United States. The proffered position for the Beneficiary is a management analyst which qualifies as a specialty occupation.  This proffered position is clearly a “specialty occupation” because the minimum requirements for this position are a Bachelor’s Degree in Business / Finance or its equivalent.

Once retained, our office filed the H-1B visa petition with various supporting documents on March 31, 2014 via premium processing service. This H-1B petition was selected after the lottery and was processed. Our client’s H-1B application was approved on May 7, 2014.
