After years in a long-distance relationship between the United States and the Philippines, this couple was ready to begin their life together. Their journey, from engagement abroad to permanent residency in the U.S., began with the K-1 fiancé visa process.
Starting with the K-1 Fiancé Visa
We assisted in preparing and filing the K-1 visa petition, which was successfully approved. Once the visa was issued, our client arrived in the U.S., and the couple married without delay, setting the stage for the next immigration step.
Adjustment of Status to Permanent Resident
Following their marriage, we supported the filing of a marriage-based adjustment of status application. Our team handled each step with close attention, from documentation and submission, to interview preparation and attendance. The outcome: approval of permanent residence and the start of a new chapter together in the U.S.
Client Testimonial
“We can’t thank the team enough for their service. From filing our K-1 to working on our marriage-based green card, and lastly, attending our interview with us to make sure everything went to protocol. They were simply thorough, communicative, organized, and on schedule with the entire process. They performed with such ease and professionalism that our circumstances were taken care of in the short span of two years. They were so swift knowing how important this is for us, since my partner and I have been in a relationship for 10 years and we were just excited to finally be together. We are eternally grateful for them and their paralegals for making it happen. We also highly recommend their team to anyone with immigration future related plans.”
Conclusion
This case reflects what’s possible when preparation, experience, and timely action come together. For couples navigating the K-1 and marriage-based green card process, every step counts. With the right support, even a long-distance relationship can turn into a lasting life together in the United States.
