Love knows no bounds. This sentiment reigns true, particularly in stories where oceans separate a couple yet their love ultimately triumphs. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, our clients’ unique love story began to unfold! Our elementary school teacher client found herself unexpectedly laid off in 2020 due to government shutdowns. Faced with loneliness and uncertainty, she decided to dip her toes into online dating. Fate smiled upon her as she matched with her now-spouse, and their daily conversations became a source of comfort and connection.
After some time, our client took a leap of faith, packed her bags, and set out to meet her online match in the United Kingdom. In-person, their connection flourished, leading to a couple of months of shared experiences in the UK. As they ventured into the world together during the lockdown, they quickly realized that their connection was more than just a digital spark. Soon, the idea of spending their lives apart seemed unbearable. Before our client was able to travel back to the United States, they got married as a commitment to their relationship.
Three months after our client’s return to the United States, the realization struck that she couldn’t bear to live without her spouse. She decided she wanted to file a green card application for her spouse to come live with her in the U.S.

We put together a comprehensive package detailing the:
The case had no complications, and once the petition was received at the National Visa Center, it was approved and sent to the U.S. Embassy in London to begin the final processing. Consular processing took approximately 7 months, but it’s important to note that this timeframe can significantly vary at different embassies due to potential backlogs in the country. This success story is a reminder that love, determination, and commitment can indeed conquer all obstacles, even in the midst of challenging times.
