The client had applied for a B-2 visa twice, filed for asylum after being misled by an agent, and had the case transferred to immigration court, leaving a complex status history spanning nearly 10 years.

A record of unauthorized employment, combined with B-2 refusals and an asylum history, put the marriage green card at maximum risk.

We obtained all asylum-related records from the court and mapped nearly 10 years of status history to close every gap. We filed the I-485 strategically after the spouse naturalized, and ran two rounds of mock interviews in advance (a standard session and a stress test) focused on asylum-related questions.

The 15-minute interview went smoothly, and the case was approved on the spot (filed 11/25/2025 · approved at the interview 03/25/2026).
