CASE: Immigrant Visa / I-140 (EB-3 Category)
EMPLOYER: Public School District in Casa Grande, AZ
BENEFICIARY: Filipina High School Math Teacher in the Philippines
LOCATION: Manila, Philippines
Our client had an employer that was willing to petition her for an I-140. She used to work for this employer as an elementary school teacher for several years. With our office’s assistance, our client’s PERM Labor Certification was certified. Later, her employer filed the I-140 for her and it was approved by the USCIS on January 27, 2022. While her I-140 was pending, she went back to the Philippines and started consular processing for her immigrant visa.
Once retained, our office filed the immigrant visa packets to the National Visa Center on February 29, 2024, and they sent the client’s materials to the U.S. Embassy in Manila, Philippines. An interview notice was set for the client at the Embassy. On June 7, 2024, our client appeared at the U.S. Embassy in Manila, Philippines. The interview went well, and they issued her immigrant visa.
