The Alien. The USC is the petitioner for the I-130.

Joel

The petitioner is the USC....is always the petitioner. The alien is the beneficiary/applicant.

You can find me on FBI

Petitioner = The US Citizen who filed the I-130

Beneficiary/Applicant = The alien spouse for whom the I-130 is filed.

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview

Wait a second...For the DS 230? The petitioner is the person filing the DS 230 which would be the alien, right? Because it is the alien who is petitioning to COME to the USA.

Joel

No this is not correct, The petitioner is the person who "petitioned" for their spouse to come to the US, this is the USC.

Hi Isabel

The Petitioner is the USC, they are petitioning for you to come to the USA. That section is asking you to

fill in the name / address of the person that submitted the petition, if I remember correctly in your case this is your hubby..

Joel

No. The US Citizen is the petitioner. The USC is petitioning for the alien spouse. So in the DS 230, still the USC is the petitioner. The petitioner is the person, who is a US citizen and who is petitioning for his/her alien spouse so that the alien spouse can legally emigrate to USA.

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview

Joel,

DS-230 is a visa application, not a petition.
