CASE: Consular Processing (Immigrant Visa)
CLIENT: US Citizen Petitioner Son; Indian Beneficiary Mother in India
LOCATION: South Carolina; Beneficiary: India
IV APPROVED: August 31, 2017
Our client retained us to bring his mother over from India. He was born and raised in India, but was naturalized in the United States. Once retained, our office prepared and filed the I-130 petition for his mother on February 25, 2016. This I-130 Petition was approved by the USCIS in July 2016. Once the I-130 petition was approved, we then started the immigrant visa processing phase of trying to get his mother over to the United States.
On February 10, 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 Mumbai, India. An interview notice was set for our client’s mother at the U.S. Consulate General in Mumbai, and we prepared her for her interview. She did her interview on August 31, 2017. Eventually, after the interview, the U.S. Consulate General Mumbai, India approved and issued her immigrant visa.
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.
