Enterline and Partners successfully expedited an I-130 Petition for the spouse of a U.S. citizen in Ho Chi Minh City by directly filing the petition at the U.S. Consulate. The couple was married in Vietnam and had originally filed an I-130 Petition for Alien Relative through the USCIS lockbox. Because of the U.S. citizen’s urgent family medical issues requiring immediate relocation back to the United States, our U.S. immigration attorneys were able to arrange to file the petition directly with the U.S. Consulate.
The entire process from filing the request to visa issuance took less than one month as opposed to 12-18 months based on the current USCIS posted processing times.
United States citizens living in Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan and elsewhere across Asia who are seeking immediate relocation based on employment, education, medical issues, etc. are encouraged to contact us to further discuss whether filing directly at the U.S. Consulate would be appropriate. In the event that it is not available, our U.S. immigration attorneys can still assist you in filing a non-expedited I-130 Petition and the visa application and interview at any U.S. Consulate.
