Success Story: I-130 and I-485 for British National Living in North Carolina

Success Story: I-130 and I-485 for British National Living in North Carolina

Our client, a British national, moved to the U.S. with their husband who was serving in the U.S. military. She was able to enter the states with an ESTA, (Electronic System for Travel Authorization), a mandatory online security check for citizens of Visa Waiver Program countries traveling to the U.S. for under 90 days. At the time of entry our client had no preconceived intent to remain in the country past the 90 days. This allowed our firm to quickly file our client’s I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative) and the I-485 (Adjustment of Status) forms without any problems with the USCIS officers. There are times when consular agents may reject an I-130 form if they believe the petitioner planned to enter the U.S. just to get that visa, and thus deceiving USCIS. However our firm gave ample proof that our client had no preconceived notions to deceive USCIS, and thus we were able to get their approved I-130 and I-485 forms within 6 months! Our client and their husband are now happily living together in North Carolina. 

At Blue Lake Law, we have extensive experience assisting U.S. citizens and their foreign spouses with I-130 and I-485 petitions.
