Client: Adult Female U.S. Citizen Married to Jordanian Citizen
Client’s Country of Origin: Jordan
Case Type: I-485 Adjustment of Status Based on Marriage to U.S. Citizen (Marriage Green Card)
Date of Application: April 25, 2011
Date of Court Order: January 29, 2013
Date of Approval: February 12, 2013
Background:
Our client retained us to secure immigration status for her husband, who was in removal proceedings at the time.
Challenge:
Marriage immigration may also require showing adequate income to support the family. Therefore, proving marriage to be real and the result of love and trust is a fundamental step, but incomplete. Sometimes, it takes patient planning to walk through many hearings until enough gainful employment is on file. Approval of a marriage green card, therefore, depends on careful documentation and good planning, which often includes adequate income.
Action:
Herman Legal Group’s immigration lawyers stood with our clients every step of the way. We helped them observe due court appearances. In fact, we appeared at four hearings due to frequent job changes during hard economic times. We also helped them prove that their marriage was real and in good faith. That is, the marriage presented to officials was in fact the result of love and trust.
Result:
Two weeks after the granting of a green card, our client’s husband received a marriage green card.
