CASE: Immigrant Visa / I-140 (EB-3 Category)
EMPLOYER: Public School District in Casa Grande, AZ
BENEFICIARY: Filipina High School General Science Teacher in the Philippines
LOCATION: Manila, Philippines
Our client had a former employer that was willing to petition her for an I-140 petition. Our client used to work for this employer as an elementary school teacher. With our office’s assistance, our client’s PERM Labor Certification was certified. Later, her employer filed an I-140 and it was approved by the USCIS on December 13, 2022. While her I-140 pending was pending, she went back to the Philippines and started consular processing for her immigrant visa.
Once we were retained, we filed the immigrant visa packets to the National Visa Center on January 11, 2024, and they forwarded the client’s materials to the U.S. Embassy in Manila, Philippines. An interview notice was then set for the client . On July 12, 2024, our client appeared at the U.S. Embassy . The interview went well, and the Embassy issued her immigrant visa. With the approved Immigrant Visa, our client can come to the United States, and she will get her green card within two months of entry.
