Our firm successfully obtained a marriage-based green card approval through adjustment of status for a foreign spouse of a U.S. citizen. The beneficiary was present in the U.S. on a B2 visitor visa at the time of filing.
In addition to the I-130 and I-485, we submitted applications for work and travel authorization, which were approved as a combo card approximately 2.5 months into the process. Because the petitioner’s income did not meet the required threshold, we included a joint sponsor to satisfy the financial requirements.
About 4.5 months after filing, USCIS issued a Request for Evidence (RFE) for additional proof of the bona fide nature of the marriage. Our team promptly prepared and submitted a strong response. The case was approved without an interview approximately one month later—bringing the total timeline to just under 6 months.
