FAMILY BASED IMMIGRATION CASE STUDIES
I-130 Petition endless wait with a happy ending.
Brief Facts of Case:
Client filed a prosepetition. His petition for his father was denied as the documentation provided was found not to be sufficient. USCIS found that Client had not established legitimization that he was born after his parents marriage or otherwise legitimated. This denial meant that one parent could not join Client and his family in the US.
We filed a new I-130 petition with primary, secondary forms of evidence. We provided substantial arguments to make our case for bonafide relationship.
Within 6 months the petition was approved and now the parent can work towards completing consular processing and be with the Client.
It is important to make sure that the attorney you are hiring is invested in the case (no matter how big or small) and is an unrelenting advocate for the case.

CONSULAR PROCESSING CASE STUDIES
Happy ending for a 4 year and her family
Brief Facts of Case:
Client filed a I-130 petition via Kasturi Law, LLC. The petition was approved for her step-child. However at consular interview the case was put in administrative processing as the US consulate was not convinced that a bonafide relationship existed between petitioner and beneficiary and also between petitioner and biological father of beneficiary.
Our approach was to provide additional substantive documentation to support the contention that the I-130 petition was correctly approved by USCIS. Shobhana also sought out congressional advocacy right from when the case when into administrative processing. She pursued the natter with the congressional office.
After 4 months the Immigrant Visa was approved and the 4 year old child can be reunited with her family in the US.
It is important to hire an attorney who is a zealous advocate and who explores all routes to ensure there is a positive result.

Brief Facts of Case:
Client’s wife had filed an I-130 and he had filed a I-1485 petition for adjustment of status. His case was denied because he had failed to provide certain documentation. They came to see Shobhana Kasturi about their options.

REINSTATING OF F1 STATUS
Positive results for an non-immigrant who had fallen out of F1 status
Brief Facts of Case:
Client came to see Shobhana about responding to a RFE as it relates to reinstating their F1 status.This was a very difficult case as USCIS made a strong case that this there were prior status violations and the client had not met the burden of establishing financial support to fund future studies.
Shobhana in discussing the case with the client was able to figure out that the status violations were not as a result of the fault of the client and warranted USCIS to exercise discretion in this case. When responding to the RFE supporting documentation was provided to make this case and also to establish that the client had more than ample financial support to fund future studies.
The I539 petition was approved and the client was able to reinstate their F1 status.
It is important to make sure that the attorney you hire knows how to approach the case, knows what documentation is needed, and knows how important it is to be supportive of the client.
