OC Immigration Attorney

Lawful permanent residence was approved for a Fullerton client who is married to a U.S. Citizen. The couple met in 2010 while he was visiting the United States from Europe. They met online initially and within a couple months they went on their first date. Things went well and they traveled around the United States together. He proposed in 2011, and they married in Orange County in early 2012. After the marriage they consulted with us on how best to proceed with the immigration process. We advised them to pursue adjustment of status so that the husband would not need to leave the United States to consular process.

We collected the necessary documents and prepared the various forms and filed a month after the wedding. At the interview in Santa Ana, the officer asked questions about the relationship including how they met, who proposed and when, and when they decided to get married. The interview went smoothly and the case was approved on the spot for conditional permanent residence. After the interview, I explained that the couple will need to file an I-751 two years from now in order to have the conditions removed from the green card.

The couple was very excited and planned to go on a trip to northern California this weekend. If you are considering the adjustment of status process, contact The Nunez Firm to schedule a free consultation. Managing attorney Jay Nunez will personally meet with you to help you better understand the process and how we can help.

We recently received a green card approval for the wife of an US Citizen residing in Fullerton, Orange County. The couple has been involved in a good faith relationship for several years and they married in 2011. The wife is originally from Mexico and entered the United States legally in the mid-1990s. She never left the United States and later had a son, who was a US citizen by virtue of being born in the US.

The couple met online in 2008 and developed a friendship that later evolved into a romance. After dating for a couple of years, the husband proposed marriage and she accepted. In mid-2011, they hired The Nunez Firm to assist with the adjustment of status process. We helped them collect all the necessary paperwork including evidence that the marriage was entered into in good faith and not for immigration purposes. We handled all the forms (including the I-485, I-130, G-325A, I-765 and G-28) and preparing the packet of evidence. Before the interview with USCIS in Santa Ana, I met with the couple and advised on what to expect at the interview. I told them what questions to expect and assured them that I would be at the interview to make sure they were treated respectfully and fairly.

On the day of the interview, the wife was very nervous. She read many horror stories online about rude USCIS officers, inappropriate sexual questions and interviews that seemed more like interrogations. I assured her that I would step in if the officer overstepped the bounds of decency.

The officer was very thorough, but respectful and patient during the green card interview. The officer approved the case on the spot and the couple was very emotional about starting their new life together. They were excited that they would be able to visit Mexico to meet the wife’s family for the first time. She was very happy that should would be able to see relatives she had not seen in over fifteen years.
