Enterline and Partners recently represented a newlywed couple living in Vietnam in an expedited I-130 Petition for Alien Relative with the U.S. Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City. The couple, a U.S. citizen and a citizen from a South American country were married in Hong Kong and living in Vietnam. The expedited filing was based on the U.S. citizen’s immediate return to the United States to begin a graduate school program.
The entire process from filing to visa issuance took less than two months as opposed to 12-18 months based on the current trends for I-130 petitions submitted to a USCIS lockbox.
For clients living in Vietnam, the Philippines and across Asia who have an immediate need to return to the United States such as a family-related medical emergency, an employment offer or other similar situations, we are confident that we can avail of expedited I-130 processing without having to file the petition with a USCIS lockbox. In the event that expedited processing is not available, our U.S. immigration attorneys in Manila, Philippines and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam can still assist in filing required documentation for a non-expedited I-130 Petition.
For more information, contact us today and speak with one of our experienced U.S. immigration attorneys.
