Approval notice. Personal details have been redacted.
Following our client’s EB-2 NIW approval, we secured Form I-485 approvals for the principal applicant, her spouse, and her child, completing the family’s move to permanent residence.

Approval Story

Our client is a pediatric dentist, professor, and academic leader whose work focuses on dental genetics, inherited enamel disorders, and pediatric oral health. Our firm previously secured approval of her EB-2 National Interest Waiver I-140 petition, allowing her family to proceed with the adjustment of status stage of the permanent residence process.

Following the I-140 approval, the principal applicant, her spouse, and her child each pursued adjustment of status in the United States. Our firm handled the family’s Form I-485 filings as a coordinated part of the EB-2 NIW-based immigration process.

USCIS approved all three Form I-485 applications, granting lawful permanent resident status to our client, her spouse, and her child. The approvals completed the family’s transition from the successful EB-2 NIW petition to permanent residence in the United States.
