CASE: I-130 and Consular Processing (Immigrant Visa) – Parent-Petition
CLIENT: US Citizen Petitioner Son; Armenian Beneficiary Parents in Armenia
LOCATION: Petitioner: Cleveland, OH; Beneficiary: Armenia
Our client retained us to bring his parents from Armenia to the United States. He was born and raised in Armenia, but was naturalized in the United States. He filed the I-130 Petitions to the USCIS and it was approved before he retained our office. He retained our office on June 21, 2018 for the immigrant visa processing phase of trying to get his parents over to the United States.
Once retained, we filed the immigrant visa packets to the National Visa Center on August 8, 2018, who in turn forwarded our clients’ materials to the U.S. Embassy in Yerevan, Armenia. An interview notice was set for the client at the US Embassy in Yerevan, and we prepared them for the interview. On October 2, 2018, the interview was conducted. Eventually, after the interview, the U.S. Embassy in Yerevan, Armenia approved and issued their immigrant visas on October 3, 2018.
With the approved immigrant visa, our client’s parents can come to the United States immediately, and they will get their green cards within two months of entry.
