Success Stories: Marriage-based adjustment of status application approved for green card applicant from Australia

We recently received an approval of lawful permanent residence (a green card) for an Australian national through his U.S. citizen spouse. Congratulations to our clients!
The couple was recently approved for a marriage-based green card for the foreign spouse. Prior to the adjustment of status application, the spouse was on an L-1 visa. However, he was laid off. We were able to help the couple plan ahead ensuring that their adjustment of status application went smoothly.
We had submitted evidence of a bona fide marriage at the time of filing and our clients’ interview was waived and the application approved 6 weeks after the application was received at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Los Angeles local office! Since USCIS instituted a general fee increase in April, which enabled the agency to hire more staff to address the years-long backlog, we’ve seen quicker turnarounds and faster adjudications. We are hopeful that this development also extends to cases filed before the fee increase, some of which still remain pending.
