We are pleased to announce that the petition for conversion from conditional permanent residency to permanent residency in a family immigration case, which was conducted in collaboration with Song Law Firm, has been approved by the USCIS.
Before filing the petition for removal of conditions, the client went through a divorce case with our law firm and requested our assistance in filing the petition after the divorce. Because the divorce occurred during the conditional residency period, it was necessary to prove the authenticity of the marriage before the divorce and collect statements from several acquaintances stating that the divorce was caused by the fault of the U.S. citizen spouse. Although more documents and evidence than usual had to be prepared and collected, we were able to quickly prepare the petition with the experience and know-how of our immigration team. Despite recent delays in the approval of petitions for removal of conditions, we were able to obtain approval quickly. We congratulate our client on their approval and wish them success in their future.
In a marriage-based immigration petition, the U.S. citizen spouse files a petition for the foreign spouse to obtain a conditional permanent residency for two years. After this period, a petition to remove the conditions can be filed to obtain permanent residency without conditions. However, if the foreign spouse is legitimately divorced due to domestic violence, infidelity, abandonment, or other reasons, a petition for removal of conditions can be filed even before the two-year period has elapsed. To do this, it is necessary to prove that the marriage was not fraudulent and had been ongoing. Therefore, it is important to find a lawyer who has a lot of experience and communicates well, as preparing for this can consume a lot of time and effort. The lawyers in Song Law Firm’s immigration team have extensive experience and approval history not only in marriage-based immigration petitions, but also in other family immigration cases. They prioritize smooth communication with their clients and keep up with the latest trends and immigration policies from the Immigration Office.
