CASE: I-130 and Consular Processing (Immigrant Visa) – Marriage-Petition
Our client is a South Korean citizen who married her US Citizen husband in October 2017 in Seoul, South Korea. Our client’s husband would like to file an I-130 petition for our client. They contacted and retained our office on October 3, 2017.
Once retained, our office prepared and filed the I-130 petition for our client to the USCIS on October 30, 2017. After the I-130 petition was filed, everything went smoothly, there were no requests for evidence, and the receipt notice came on time. The I-130 Petition was approved on May 15, 2018.
Then, we filed the immigrant visa packets to the National Visa Center on August 22, 2018, who in turn forwarded our client’s materials to the U.S. Embassy in Seoul, South Korea. An interview notice was set for the client at the U.S. Embassy in Seoul, and we prepared her for the interview. On October 22, 2018, the interview was conducted. The interview went well and after the interview, the U.S. Embassy in Seoul, South Korea approved and issued her immigrant visa.
With the approved Immigrant Visa, our client can come to the United States immediately, and she will get her green card within two months of entry.
