CASE: I-130 and Consular Processing (Immigrant Visa) – Marriage-Petition
Our client is a U.S. citizen who married his wife in Tbilisi, Georgia in December 2012. After the marriage, he came back to the United States and contacted our office in early January 2013 and retained us to bring his wife to the States.
Our office prepared and filed the I-130 to the USCIS in January 8, 2013. After the I-130 was filed, everything went smoothly, there were no requests for evidence, and the receipt notices came on time.
The I-130 Petition was approved on March 11, 2013.
After the I-130 approval, we filed the immigrant visa packets to the National Visa Center on May 24, 2013, who in turn forwarded our client’s materials to the U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi, Georgia. An interview notice was set for the client at the US Embassy in Tbilisi, and we prepared her for the interview. On August 7, 2013, the interview was conducted. Eventually, on August 30, 2013, the U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi, Georgia approved and issued her immigrant visa.
With the approved Immigrant visa, our client’s wife can come to the United States immediately, and she will get her green card within two weeks of entry.
