I-601A Waiver Approved for Santa Ana Client from Mexico

8/26/2015

0 Comments

 
We just received an approval for an I-601A waiver that we filed less than three weeks ago. The I-601A was approved by USCIS without an RFE (Request for Evidence).

The client is originally from Mexico. He entered the US in 1994 without inspection and has lived in California since that time. He was not eligible for adjustment of status under INA 245i; however, he is married to his US citizen wife and has one US citizen daughter (11 years old) and another daughter on the way. His wife was born in the United States and her whole family lives here including parents, aunts, uncles, siblings, nieces, and nephews among others. We included substantial documentation showing the family ties for the wife in the US.

Part of the husband's family is located in the US as well. In Matter of O-J-O, the BIA considered "not only the length of residence, but also the degree of integration into American society and the strength of the attachments to friends and community." We were sure to include evidence of our client's ties to the community.

We included detailed information about the couple's courtship, which began in 2002, and their marriage, which took place in 2009. We provided a lot of documentation regarding the economic situation in Mexico along with the kidnapping and drug trafficking epidemic. The packet included well over 300 pages of evidence.

The next step will be the consular processing of the visa in Ciudad Juarez. The client is excited and looks forward to finalizing the immigration process so he can live in the US with his wife and daughters.

If you are considering the I-601A waiver process, contact Nelson & Nuñez to schedule a confidential consultation. Attorneys John Nelson and Jay Nuñez will personally meet with you to assess your case and determine if you are eligible for an I-601A waiver.

Marriage-Based Adjustment of Status Approved for Long Beach Client

8/19/2015

0 Comments

 
We just received an approval for one of our marriage-based adjustment clients from Long Beach. The client is originally from the Philippines. He moved to the United States with his family when he was in junior high based on his mother's J-1 visa. The family lived in Indiana before moving to Southern California, where he met his future wife in high school.

The couple married in 2014 after dating for several years. We provided evidence that the couple had been romantically involved for many years and lived with the wife's parents. We also provided written statements from family members detailing their support for the couple's marriage.

The interview went forward in Los Angeles, where the USCIS officer asked questions about how the couple met, when they decided to get married and who attended the wedding among other topics. Everything went smoothly; however, the officer wanted evidence that the mother's J-1 two-year residency in her home country had been waived. We provided the proof of waiver within a few days, and today we received the approval notice for the adjustment of status.

The client will be a conditional resident for the next two years because the couple's marriage is less than two years old. They will need to file an I-751 during the ninety days immediately preceding the 2017 expiration date.

If you are married to an alien and wish to explore the adjustment of status process, contact Nelson & Nuñez, PC to schedule a consultation. Attorneys John Nelson and Jay Nuñez will personally meet with you during a confidential consultation so you can better understand how the immigration laws pertain to your situation.

Naturalization Approved for Client in Chatsworth

8/18/2015

0 Comments

 
We recently received a naturalization approval from the Chatsworth office. The client became a conditional permanent resident through marriage. During the two year conditional residency period, the couple separated and divorced. We represented him with the I-751 process and requested a good faith waiver. The case was approved.

After he had accumulated 5 years of residency, we filed for naturalization and his case was approved. Before filing the naturalization, we made sure to resolve all pending tax matters so his moral character would not be questioned.

The client is very happy with the result and plans to file visa petitions for his sister and parents in the near future. If you are considering the naturalization process, contact Nelson & Nuñez, PC to schedule a consultation. Attorneys John Nelson and Jay Nuñez will personally meet with you during a confidential consultation so you can better understand your options and the best course of action for you.
