Success Stories: Green Card Approved for Adjustment of Status Applicant with J-1 Waiver from Finland

The J-1 Exchange Visitor Visa is for individuals approved to participate in work-and study-based exchange visitor programs, including those for teaching, instructing or lecturing, studying, observing, conducting research, consulting, demonstrating special skills, receiving training, or to receive graduate medical education or training. All exchange visitors are expected to return to their home country upon completion of their program to share their exchange experiences.
We recently received an approval for an adjustment of status application filed on behalf of a U.S. citizen and his spouse who is a national of Finland and was a previous J-1 visa holder subject to the home residency requirement. Congratulations to our clients!
The foreign national spouse is a citizen of Finland and was a J-1 visa holder who was subject to the foreign residency requirement, which requires those who are subject to return to their home country for a cumulative total period of at least two years before they can change status, adjust status to lawful permanent resident status (green card); or receive an immigrant visa at a consulate abroad, unless they qualified for a waiver. Our clients previously applied without the assistance of an immigration attorney and their case was denied. They sought our services to assist them in reapplying for adjustment of status and with our help, their case was approved.
If you are a J-1 visa holder and would like to apply for adjustment of status, please contact us to see how we can help. Please note that past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
