Best Immigration Attorney New York Marriage Aos No Rfe

The foreign national spouse had been residing lawfully in the United States under a nonimmigrant status at the time of marriage.

After the wedding, the attorney evaluated eligibility for adjustment of status under Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) §245(a).

The attorney confirmed that no statutory bars applied and that the couple qualified to file a concurrent immigrant petition and adjustment application.

The immigrant petition was filed under INA §201(b)(2)(A)(i), which classifies the spouse of a U.S. Citizen as an immediate relative exempt from numerical visa limits.

The adjustment of status application was submitted pursuant to INA §245, along with required affidavits and supporting documentation.

Because the marriage was less than two years old at the time of approval, the attorney advised that conditional permanent residence under INA §216 would apply.

The attorney collected joint financial records, shared lease agreements, photographs, affidavits from acquaintances, and correspondence history.

Each document was reviewed to ensure it supported the narrative of a real marital life rather than a marriage entered into for immigration purposes.

This careful preparation eliminated inconsistencies that often trigger Requests for Evidence (RFEs).

USCIS approved the Form I-130 and Form I-485 in rapid succession based on the completeness of the record.

The foreign national spouse was granted conditional lawful permanent resident status pursuant to INA §216(a).

The attorney also provided post approval guidance regarding future filing requirements to remove conditions on residence.
