Case Summary.

Elizabeth Mavec helped a U.S. citizen and her Indian spouse secure a marriage-based Family Green Card through adjustment of status. Although the newlyweds were living apart at the time of filing, Elizabeth built a totality-of-the-circumstances case using joint finances, shared insurance and bills, years of dated relationship photos, and letters from family and friends. Their history serving together as godparents before the marriage helped round out strong evidence of a genuine relationship.
