John Doe is a Canadian citizen who for several years ran the Toronto office of XYZ Corp., a middle-sized, U.S. based financial company. A few years ago, XYZ brought Mr. Doe to its New York headquarters to serve in an executive-level position as a nonimmigrant intracompany transferee. XYZ has been quite enamored of Mr. Doe’s performance in the New York position. So, XYZ filed an immigrant petition on Mr. Doe’s behalf with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), in which XYZ sought classification of Mr. Doe as a multinational executive immigrant. This allowed Mr. Doe to file, on his own behalf, an application to adjust status to lawful permanent residence (an application for a “green card”). Mr. Doe’s spouse and teenage daughter also filed green card applications as Mr. Doe’s dependents.
As expected, USCIS approved XYZ’s petition for Mr. Doe, as he readily qualified as a multinational executive immigrant. However, rather than receiving approval of his green card application, Mr. Doe instead received an appointment notice for a green card interview at USCIS’ local office. His wife and daughter received appointment notices as well.
