How We Work to Maximize Your Chances of Adjustment of Status Approval

Adjustment of Status applications are scrutinized closely by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). That’s why Essien Immigration Law takes a methodical approach to every case. We begin with a detailed eligibility assessment based on USCIS’s criteria, including:

• Whether you were lawfully admitted or paroled into the U.S.
• Whether a visa number is currently available in your category.
• Whether you are otherwise admissible to the United States.

Even seemingly minor issues — such as working without authorization or traveling without advance parole — can result in delays or denials. That’s why our process includes:

• Detailed Immigration History Review. We examine all prior entries, exits, visa applications, and interactions with CBP, USCIS, or ICE. This includes identifying any unauthorized work, visa overstays, or entry without inspection incidents that may need legal analysis.
• Thorough Preparation of Supporting Documents. From proving a bona fide marriage in spousal cases to verifying employer sponsorship in employment-based petitions, we gather evidence that meets USCIS standards and anticipates possible challenges.
• Filing Accuracy & Timeliness: We ensure that all forms properly completed and submitted with the correct filing fees. We cross-check USCIS lockbox protocols and Phoenix-specific mailing addresses to avoid administrative delays.
• Monitoring Visa Bulletin & Priority Dates. For employment and family preference categories, we help clients stay informed of monthly visa bulletin changes and time filings strategically to maximize efficiency.

This meticulous attention to both eligibility and evidence helps reduce the risk of denials, Requests for Evidence (RFEs), or delays. Our goal is to prepare your case as thoroughly as possible, so when it reaches a USCIS adjudicator’s desk, it speaks clearly and completely for your eligibility.
