Immigrant Visa Approval Based on Marriage-Based I-130 for Petitioner in Ohio and Irish Beneficiary in Dublin Ireland

CASE: I-130 and Consular Processing (Immigrant Visa) – Marriage-Petition
CLIENT: US Citizen Petitioner; Irish Beneficiary in Dublin Ireland
LOCATION: Petitioner: Ohio; Beneficiary: Dublin, Ireland

Our client is a U.S. citizen.  He married his wife in the United States in August 2015.  After the marriage, his wife went back to Ireland. Our client contacted our office in November 2015 and retained us to bring his wife to the States.

Our office prepared and filed the I-130 to the National Visa Center on December 9, 2015. The I-130 Petition was approved by the USCIS on October 11, 2016. After the I-130 approval, we filed the immigrant visa packets to the National Visa Center on November 30, 2016, who in turn forwarded our client’s materials to the U.S. Embassy in Dublin, Ireland. An interview notice was set for the client at the US Embassy in Dublin, Ireland and we prepared her for her interview. On April 3, 2017, our client appeared at her immigrant visa interview at the U.S. Embassy in Dublin. After the interview, the U.S. Embassy in Dublin, Ireland 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 months of entry.
