CASE: I-130 and Consular Processing (Immigrant Visa)
CLIENT: US Citizen Petitioner Mother; Chinese Beneficiary Minor Son in China
LOCATION: Petitioner: Ohio; Beneficiary: China
I-130 FILED: June 11, 2014
I-130 APPROVED: July 21, 2014
IV APPROVED: June 1, 2015
Our client retained us to bring her minor son over from China. She was born and raised in China, but was naturalized in the United States.
On June 11, 2014, our firm filed an I-130 Petition to the CIS. There were no Requests for Evidence throughout the pendency of the petition. On June 21, 2014, the I-130 Petition was approved. We then started the immigrant visa processing phase of trying to get her son over to the United States.
On March 12, 2015, we filed the immigrant visa packet to the National Visa Center who in turn forwarded our client’s materials to the U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou, China. An interview notice was set for our client’s son at the U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou, and we prepared him for his interview. On June 1, 2015, the U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou, China approved and issued their immigrant visa.
With the approved immigrant visa, our client’s son can come to the United States immediately, and he will get their green cards within two weeks of entry.
