CASE: I-130 and Consular Processing (Immigrant Visa)
CLIENT: Chinese LPR Petitioner in Ohio; Chinese Beneficiary Wife and Daughter in China
LOCATION: Petitioner: Ohio; Beneficiaries: China
Our client retained us to bring his wife and daughter from China to the United States. He is a permanent resident and got married to his wife in 2011. Initially, he retained our office in July 2011 to file the I-130 petitions for his wife. After we were retained, we prepared and filed the I-130 petition for our client’s wife on July 28, 2011. Eventually, this I-130 petition was approved by the USCIS on April 16, 2012.
In April of this year, he retained our office again after the priority date became current for the immigrant visa processing for his wife and his newly born daughter. He retained our office on April 10, 2013.
On June 28, 2013, we filed the immigrant visa packets to the National Visa Center who in turn forwarded our client’s materials to the U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou, China. An interview notice was set for our client’s wife at the U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou, and we prepared her for her interview. On November 20, 2013, after the interview, the U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou, China approved and issued her and her daughter’s immigrant visas.
With the approved immigrant visa, our client’s wife and daughter can come to the United States immediately, and she will get her green card within two weeks of entry.
