Adjustment of Status Applicant Receives 5-Year Work Permit and Advance Parole Authorization

Case Details:

Our clients, a self-petitioning EB-1A beneficiary and his spouse, sought to maximize their benefits during the adjustment of status process. The case required careful coordination of multiple applications including adjustment of status, employment authorization, and travel document requests. The comprehensive filing included all necessary supporting documentation, medical examinations, and evidence of continuous lawful status maintenance throughout the immigration process.

The Locke Immigration Difference:

We executed a well-coordinated strategic approach by filing I-765 and I-131 applications concurrently with the I-485 petition, enabling our clients to work and travel freely while awaiting permanent residency. The result was outstanding: a 5-year EAD/AP combination document that provides maximum flexibility and eliminates the burden of frequent renewals.

This 60-month EAD and Advance Parole validity period represents a significant improvement over the previous 1 or 2 year validity periods, demonstrating our ability to secure optimal outcomes under fluctuating USCIS policies. Our clients now enjoy complete work authorization freedom and international travel capability throughout the adjustment process.
