CASE: Consular Processing (Immigrant Visa)
CLIENT: US Citizen Petitioner Wife; Mexican Beneficiary Husband in Mexico
LOCATION: Petitioner: Cleveland, OH; Beneficiary: Ciudad Juarez, Mexico
IV APPROVED: February 9, 2018.
Our U.S. Citizen client retained us to bring her husband over from Mexico. She retained our office in February 2017, and our office prepared and filed the I-130 petition for her husband on March 1, 2017. This I-130 Petition was approved by the USCIS on August 7, 2017. After the I-130 petition was approved, we started the immigrant visa processing phase of trying to get her husband over to the United States.
On September 7, 2017, we filed the immigrant visa packets to the National Visa Center who in turn forwarded our client’s materials to the U.S. Consulate General in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. An interview notice was set for our client’s husband at the U.S. Consulate General in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, and we prepared him for his interview. He did his interview on February 9, 2018, and the U.S. Consulate General 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.
