CASE: I-130 and Consular Processing (Immigrant Visa) – Petition for Parents
Our client is a U.S. Citizen who wanted to petition his mother for her immigrant visa. He retained our office for the I-130 and immigrant visa processing for his mother in January 2016. With our assistance, the I-130 (immediate relative) petition was filed for his mother in South Korea on February 18, 2016. This I-130 Petition was approved by the USCIS in May 2016.
Once the I-130 was approved, we filed the immigrant visa packets to the National Visa Center on November 8, 2016, 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 her for the interview. On March 6, 2017, the interview was conducted. Eventually, after the interview, the U.S. Embassy in Seoul, South Korea approved and issued her immigrant visa on March 20, 2017.
With the approved immigrant visa, our client’s mother can come to the United States immediately, and she will get her green card within two months of entry.
