CASE: I-130 and Consular Processing (Immigrant Visa) – Marriage-Petition
Our client is a U.S. citizen who married his wife in South Korea in April 2022. After the marriage, he came back to the United States and retained our office for the I-130 and immigrant visa filing for his wife. He retained our office on May 12, 2022. Our office filed the I-130 petition for his wife on May 18, 2022. The I-130 petition was approved by the USCIS on May 16, 2023.
Once the I-130 petition was approved, we filed the immigrant visa packets to the National Visa Center on September 18, 2023, which 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 U.S. Embassy, and we prepared him for the interview. On December 19, 2023, the interview was conducted. On the same day, the U.S. Embassy issued her immigrant visa.
With the approved Immigrant Visa, our client’s wife can come to the United States immediately, and she will get her green card within two months of entry.
