The U.S. citizen spouse had lived in the United States for a long time, while the Chinese spouse's visitor visa applications were refused repeatedly, making it impossible to enter the country.

A long-distance marriage combined with a history of visitor visa refusals doubled the difficulty.

We submitted detailed chat logs, call records, photos from trips together, and plane and train tickets to prove the marriage was genuine, and filed an I-130 to establish the spousal relationship.

The I-130 was approved, allowing the spouse to apply for an immigrant visa at the U.S. consulate in China.
