Getson & Schatz, P.C. assists client to obtain green card 12 years after I-130 Petition filed by U.S. Citizen Spouse was Approved

A client came to our office who had been married to a United States Citizen for 20 years and had an I-130 Petition approved for 12 years but had never received the green card because he had filed the paperwork by himself and his application had been denied because he had been unable to prove his lawful entry to the United States. He had not bothered to follow-up on his application until he needed proof of work authorization all those years later. We immediately filed Form I-102 to obtain a duplicate copy of his I-94 card and upon receipt of same we filed his green card application. After more than a decade our client finally has a green card.
