At Barrera Legal Group, we’re proud to announce the approval of an I-130 petition filed by a U.S. citizen on behalf of their spouse. This milestone clears the way for the couple to move forward with the pending adjustment of status application (Form I-485).
This case highlights the power of preparation: we first guided the petitioner through the naturalization process—helping them become a U.S. citizen. Once naturalized, they filed a spousal petition for their immigrant spouse, who had entered the U.S. on a tourist visa.
Now that USCIS has approved the I-130, the next step is for the couple to attend their adjustment of status interview, where they will have the opportunity to show the bona fides of their marriage and finalize permanent residency.
👩⚖️ Why This Matters:
A U.S. citizen spouse can petition for their immigrant partner to obtain a green card through adjustment of status—if the immigrant entered legally.
Legal entry with a B2/tourist visa is a key factor that makes this process possible.
By helping the petitioner naturalize first, our firm accelerated the timeline and eligibility for adjustment.
💼 How We Help:
At Barrera Legal Group, we handle every step of the process—from helping lawful permanent residents become U.S. citizens, to representing families during green card applications. We know what USCIS looks for and prepare our clients to succeed.
