In 2006,our client, “Matt”, was admitted to the US with an H-4 visa (as a dependent of his wife, an H-1B visa holder from Australia). His wife “Joanne” was working in the U.S. as a registered nurse. Joanne was the beneficiary of an I-140 petition filed by her previous employer (under the employment based 3rd preference category – i.e., EB-3). The petition was subsequently approved with a priority date of March 2000. At that point, Joanne contacted Slepian Law for legal assistance. Andrew Slepian carefully reviewed the facts of the matter and determined that both Joanne and Matt were eligible to Adjust their respective Statutes to that of U.S. Lawful Permanent Residents. Slepian Law handled all of the applicable paperwork and in August 2013, USCIS approved both Applications to Adjust Status. Joanna and Matt presently reside in Los Angeles, California as Lawful Permanent Residents of the U.S.
