Case Summary.

Sandrine Gaillot helped a South Korean spouse of a U.S. citizen regain permanent residence with a concurrent adjustment of status package. The client had lost her earlier Green Card after the family spent over a decade abroad for work and pandemic-era travel disruptions, and a returning-resident visa had been denied. The filing beat a tight deadline before her visitor status expired, anchored by a bona fide marriage of more than twenty years and strong financial sponsorship.
