Case Summary.

Mary Russell helped a Canadian technology professional achieve an approved Family Green Card through marriage-based adjustment of status. Already working in the U.S. on a dual-intent L-1B visa after an internal transfer with a large technology company, the client was able to keep working and traveling while the case was pending. Mary built the petition around a well-documented, multi-year relationship with a U.S. citizen spouse and a clean immigration history, even amid shifting policy guidance.
