	Professional Preparation and Expedited Attorney Filing Attorney Michael S. Cho personally prepares and reviews your application for completeness and accuracy. If you qualify, we can file a request for expedited processing at no additional charge to you. When both the I-212 and I-601 waivers are required, the I-130 immediate relative petition is filed first and must be approved. After you attend your consular interview and are deemed inadmissible to the United States, the I-601 waiver and I-212 are submitted together to the USCIS for adjudication. When only the I-212 waiver application is required, it is filed at the USCIS field office having jurisdiction over the place where your previous removal proceedings were held (except for Canadians who can file at an authorized CBP office at the port of entry).
	Real-Time Case Status Available 24 Hours a Day Both you and our office will receive a notice from the USCIS confirming receipt of your spousal visa petition. Additional forms shall be sent to your spouse (or designated agent) by the U.S Department of State. Our firm will have already provided these forms for your spouse, significantly reducing delays typically caused by back & forth correspondence. All USCIS correspondence pertaining to your case will be scanned and can be made available for your review at our Client Update Center.
	Thorough Preparation of your Spouse for the Consulate and Waiver Interviews After your I-212 waiver application is approved, it is time to prepare for the consular interview. For I-130 relative petition applicants: The National Visa Center will send application and affidavit of support fee bills that should be paid online. After payment, the NVC will request submission of application forms and supporting documents. We will have already prepared these forms for you and helped you obtain all supporting documents needed by the NVC. This significantly reduces delays typically caused by back & forth correspondence. For K-3 spouse visa applicants: The U.S. Department of State will send additional forms to your spouse. We will have already prepared these forms for you and helped you obtain all supporting documents needed for the consular interview. This significantly reduces delays typically caused by back & forth correspondence. Your spouse typically receives a notice in the mail from the U.S. Department of State with the date and location of the visa interview. Your spouse must attend this interview with the complete set of updated documents we have prepared beforehand along with the I-212 approval notice. Your spouse must pay and attend the medical examination before the interview. The spouse visa is usually issued within a few days after the interview.
