When it comes to immigration, timing can mean everything. At VKM Law Group, we understand the pressure our clients face—especially when the clock is ticking. A recent marriage-based green card case highlights how preparation, strategy, and legal precision can lead to exceptional outcomes—even under extreme time constraints.
The Challenge: Just Three Weeks Left on I-94
We were contacted by a couple in urgent need: the foreign spouse had only three weeks remaining on their I-94. This left us with a critical, fast-approaching deadline to file a complete, error-free one-step adjustment package (I-130, I-485, I-765, and I-131).
In today’s heightened scrutiny of marriage-based green card petitions, even the smallest inconsistency can trigger a Request for Evidence (RFE) or worse—a denial. The stakes were incredibly high.
Our Approach: USCIS-Ready from Day One
Despite the tight timeframe, our firm approached this filing with the same rigor and diligence we apply to all cases:
1. Deep-Dive Evidence Review
We conducted a thorough examination of all relationship documentation, including:
- Joint financial accounts
- Shared leases and utility bills
- Photographs and communications
- Affidavits from family and friends
- Travel history and civil documents
Every document was cross-checked for accuracy, consistency, and evidentiary value.
2. Preemptive Issue Spotting
We scrutinized the case from the lens of a USCIS officer, identifying any red flags or areas of potential concern. Our team provided tailored guidance on strengthening weak points through supplemental documentation and declarations.
3. A Unified Relationship Narrative
A compelling case is more than paperwork—it’s a story. We developed a clear, credible, and emotionally resonant narrative that connected the couple’s history with their evidence, eliminating any confusion or doubt.
4. Full One-Step Adjustment Filing
Our team submitted all forms and supporting documents in a meticulously organized package:
- I-130 Petition for Alien Relative
- I-485 Application to Adjust Status
- I-765 Application for Employment Authorization
- I-131 Application for Travel Document
Every detail was double-checked to ensure perfect consistency across forms.
Speedy Interview: Scheduled in Just 2 Months
Due to the strength of the filing, USCIS scheduled the adjustment interview only two months after submission—an exceptionally fast turnaround for a marriage-based case.
We accompanied the couple to the interview to ensure:
- Confident, accurate responses to officer questions
- On-the-spot legal clarifications
- Seamless presentation of supporting evidence
The Result: Green Card Approved Next Day
✅ Interview passed with no issues
✅ Green card approved the very next day
✅ Physical green card delivered in just two weeks
✅ Total processing time: 3 months from start to finish
This timeline is far faster than the typical processing window for marriage-based green cards.
