CASE: I-130 and Consular Processing (Immigrant Visa) – Marriage-Petition
Our client is a U.S. citizen who married his wife in Ghana in August 2022. 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 November 27, 2022. Our office filed the I-130 petition for his wife on January 4, 2023. The I-130 petition was approved by the USCIS on December 6, 2023.
Once the I-130 was approved, we filed the immigrant visa packets to the National Visa Center on January 8, 2024, who in turn forwarded our client’s materials to the U.S. Embassy in Accra, Ghana. Later, per our client’s request, the interview venue was changed to Yaoundé, Cameroon. On December 10, 2024, the interview was conducted. On December 19, 2024, the U.S. Embassy issued her immigrant visa.
With the approved Immigrant Visa, our client’s wife can come to the United States and receive her green card within two months of her entry.
