CASE: I-130 and Consular Processing (Immigrant Visa)
CLIENT: US Citizen Petitioner Son; Cameroonian Beneficiary Father in Cameroon
LOCATION: Petitioner: Texas; Beneficiary: Cameroon
I-130 FILED: July 28, 2016
I-130 APPROVED: May 16, 2017

Our client retained us to bring his father over from Cameroon. He was born and raised in Cameroon, but was naturalized in the United States.
On July 28, 2016, our firm filed the I-130 Petition to the CIS. There were no Requests for Evidence throughout the pendency of the petition. On May 16, 2017, the I-130 Petition was approved. We then started the immigrant visa processing phase of trying to get his father over to the United States.
On January 19, 2018, we filed the immigrant visa packet to the National Visa Center who in turn forwarded our client’s materials to the U.S. Embassy in Yaoundé, Cameroon. An interview notice was set for our client’s father at the U.S. Embassy in Yaoundé, Cameroon, and we prepared him for his interview. On May 16, 2018, the U.S. Embassy in Yaoundé, Cameroon approved and issued his immigrant visa.
