CASE: I-130 and Consular Processing (Immigrant Visa) – Marriage-Petition
Our client is a U.S. Citizen who married her husband in Egypt in October 2018. After the marriage, she came back to the United States to work and wanted to file the I-130 petition for her husband in Egypt. She retained our office in October 2018 and our office prepared and filed the I-130 petition on October 22, 2018. This I-130 Petition was approved by the USCIS in February 2019. Once the I-130 petition was approved, she retained us again to bring her husband to the States via consular processing.
Once retained, we filed the immigrant visa packets to the National Visa Center on April 26, 2019, who in turn forwarded our client’s materials to the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, Egypt. An interview notice was set for the client at the US Embassy in Cairo, and we prepared him for the interview. On November 26, 2019, the interview was conducted. Eventually, after the interview, the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, Egypt approved and issued his immigrant visa.
With the approved immigrant visa, our client’s husband can come to the United States immediately, and he will get his green card within two months of entry.
