CASE: I-130 and Consular Processing (Immigrant Visa) – Marriage-Petition
Our client is a U.S. citizen who married his wife in India in December 2017. After the marriage, he came back to the United States and retained our office for the I-130 and immigrant visa filing for his wife. He retained our office on January 24, 2020. Our office prepared and filed the I-130 petition for his wife on February 20, 2020. The I-130 petition was approved by the USCIS on May 1, 2020.
Once the I-130 petition was approved, we filed the immigrant visa packets to the National Visa Center on October 16, 2020, who in turn forwarded our client’s materials to the U.S. Consulate General in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. An interview notice was set for the client at the U.S. Consulate General in Ciudad Juarez, and we prepared her for the interview. On February 8, 2022, the interview was conducted. Eventually, on the same day of the interview, the U.S. Consulate General in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico 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.
