CASE: I-130 and Consular Processing (Immigrant Visa)
CLIENT: Chinese LPR Petitioner in Ohio; Chinese Beneficiary Wife in China
LOCATION: Petitioner: Ohio; Beneficiaries: China
Our client retained us to bring his wife from China to the United States. He is a permanent resident and was married in 2010. He filed the I-130 petition by himself and it was approved. However, he had difficulty with the Immigrant Visa process so he retained our office on March 13, 2013.
On May 20, 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 September 24, 2013, the U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou, China approved and issued her immigrant visa.
With the approved immigrant visa, our client’s wife can come to the United States immediately, and she will get her green card within two weeks of entry.
