Enterline and Partners is pleased to announce that our attorneys have successfully represented another client with Direct Consular Filing (“DCF”) of an I-130 Petition for Alien Relative (“I-130 Petition”) at the U.S. Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City (“Consulate.”)
Our clients, a U.S. citizen and Vietnamese citizen, approached us after the U.S. citizen received a job offer which required his immediate relocation back to the United States.
Following our consultation session in which we thoroughly discussed how DCF is adjudicated as well as advising that it remains discretionary, the couple decided to proceed and engaged our office to file the initial DCF request.
Our team worked diligently in gathering all of the required and supplemental documentation needed before the DCF request could be filed. Once everything was finalized, we submitted the request. Less than a week later, the Consulate approved our DCF request and scheduled the client to file the I-130 Petition directly with the Consulate’s Immigrant Visa Unit.
A few days after the I-130 Petition was received by the Consulate, it was approved allowing the Vietnamese citizen spouse to schedule a medical evaluation and an immigrant visa interview.
The total time starting from when the DCF request was made to when the immigrant visa was issued was less than two (2) months.
U.S. citizens residing in Asia with an immediate need to relocate back to the United States with their foreign spouse are encouraged to contact us directly at info@enterlinepartners.com for more information on our DCF services.
