Immigrant Visa Based on Marriage and I-130 Petition from Cleveland Ohio Approved for Beneficiary in Busan South Korea

CASE: I-130 and Consular Processing (Immigrant Visa) – Marriage-Petition

Our client is a U.S. citizen who married his wife in Busan, South Korea in July 2011.  Later, they had a son who was born in South Korea in March 2012. At the time of marriage and the birth of his son, our client was a green card holder. He became a naturalized the U.S. citizen in August 2012. After the marriage, he came back to the United States to pursue his studies and contacted our office and retained us to bring his wife and son to the States.

Our office prepared and filed two I-130 petitions for his wife and son to the USCIS on January 29, 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 Petitions were approved on March 22, 2013.

After the I-130 approval, we filed the immigrant visa packets to the National Visa Center on October 18, 2013, 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 US Embassy in Seoul, and we prepared them for the interview. On March 7, 2014, the interview was conducted.  Eventually, on March 26, 2014, the U.S. Embassy in Seoul, South Korea approved and issued their immigrant visas.

With the approved Immigrant visas, our client’s wife and son can come to the United States immediately, and they will get their green cards within two weeks of entry.
