Scott Legal is pleased to announce the approval of a marriage-based Adjustment of Status (Form I-485) for a client residing in Nevada with her U.S. citizen spouse. While marriage-based green card cases are generally straightforward, this application faced a challenge when USCIS issued a Request for Evidence (RFE) regarding the financial ability of the U.S. citizen spouse to sponsor the applicant. The spouse is self-employed with variable income, which often requires additional documentation to meet the affidavit of support requirements under Form I-864.
Our team successfully addressed the RFE by providing comprehensive supplemental financial documentation and a detailed explanation of the spouse’s business operations. These efforts clarified the sponsor’s income and financial stability, allowing USCIS to make a favorable determination and approve the application. This case highlights the importance of thorough preparation and strategic responses when dealing with complex financial sponsorship issues in marriage-based cases.
If you are considering a marriage-based green card or have received an RFE, we can help.
