CASE: Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status
CLIENT: Malaysian
LOCATION: Milwaukee, WI

Our client came to the United States in December 1996 with a J-1 Exchange Visitor visa from Malaysia. Although her J-1 program ended in 1999, she stayed in the United States since then.  She got a waiver of the two- year foreign residency requirement. She married her U.S. Citizen husband in September 2007 and she retained our office in the middle of September 2011 for her adjustment of status application. Our firm prepared and filed the I-130 Petition and I-485 Adjustment of Status Application on November 30, 2011. Everything went smoothly and the receipt notices, fingerprint appointment, and work permit all came on time. Prior to the interview, we thoroughly prepared our clients. On March 8, 2012, our client was interviewed at the Milwaukee, Wisconsin USCIS office.  Her green card application was approved on the same day.

CASE: Adjustment of Status at Removal Proceeding
CLIENT: Kenyan
LOCATION: Chicago, IL

Our client came to the United States in August 2005 with an F-1 student visa from Kenya.  He married a U.S. Citizen in January 2010.  Our client’s wife filed an I-130 petition on behalf of our client, and this I-130 petition was approved by the USCIS Milwaukee Field Office in December 2010.  He was placed in removal proceedings for overstaying his F-1 status, so our client contacted our office to seek legal representation for his removal proceedings.

Our client retained us on March 25, 2011.  On April 5, 2011, Attorney Sung Hee (Glen) Yu of our office represented our client at his initial master calendar hearing at the Chicago Immigration Court.  We did pleadings for our client and asked for adjustment of status relief. After the Master Calendar hearing, our office prepared and filed the I-485 Adjustment of Status Application and other supporting documents to the Chicago Immigration Court.

On February 6, 2012, Attorney Yu represented our client at his Individual Hearing for adjustment of status at the Chicago Immigration Court.  After direct and cross examination, the Immigration Judge approved our client’s adjustment of status application. Now, our client is a permanent resident of the United States.

CASE: Change of Status from H-1B to H-4

CLIENT: Indian

LOCATION: Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Our client has been on H-1B status for two years and held his specialty occupation position. However, his H-1B status expired on September 10, 2010.  Before his H-1B status was expired, our client married his girlfriend who was an H-1B visa holder in the United States living in Cleveland Ohio.  As a family dependent of H-1B visa holder, our client has a chance to change his status from H-1B to H-4 before his H-1B is expired. Our firm was retained and we helped the client obtain supporting documents for the Change of Status before his H-1B was expired. On September 2, 2010, our firm promptly filed the client’s I-539 with detailed exhibits to USCIS Texas Service Center.  On November 24, 2010, the Change of Status was approved. Our client is now on H-4 and can maintain his lawful stay in the United States.
