Case Summary.

Elizabeth Mavec helped a Vietnamese H-1B professional achieve a Family Green Card through marriage to a U.S. citizen spouse. With H-1B status secure for years, she advised choosing the marriage-based adjustment of status over a parallel employer-sponsored PERM process to avoid dual-petition complications, and building strong bona fide marriage evidence before filing. The concurrent I-130 and I-485 filing was approved.
