Client: A Church in Columbia, Maryland (a suburb of Baltimore)
Client’s Country of Origin: Taiwan
Case Type: I-485 Application of Adjustment of Status Based on Employment
Date of Application: August 6, 2010
Date of Approval: November 22, 2010
Background:
A church near Baltimore, Maryland retained Herman Legal Group to secure a capable minister’s permanent resident status for long-term service. We thus filed an I-485 based on employment to achieve our client’s objective.
Challenge:
The I-485 application package for adjustment of status (often referred to as green card application or permanent residence application) is tedious. Such a package requires detailed proof for each and every listed criterion. After all, adjustment of status – from temporary to permanent – is a matter of great gravity. Thus, please consider seeking professional and legal assistance should your employee meet the criteria for adjustment to permanent resident status.
Action:
We helped our client prove that:
- The hiring organization would continue to sponsor the beneficiary with further employment.
- The beneficiary entered the U.S. with the inspection.
- The beneficiary had no violations of status.
- The beneficiary had no felony records.
Result:
Three months later, our client’s minister received permanent resident status and was clear to serve for the long run.
