Hi everyone!!

My spouse is a USC, we have a I-130 with consular processing which was just approved and we are now dealing with NVC to get DQ. We are hoping to get a CR1 (married just over 1 year)

My question is at what point do we provide updated evidence for bona fide relationship? (i.e. visits since the I130 was filed etc) I know we will need to provide updated evidence when we get to the IR1 stage and file to remove conditions

I have read the .gov sites and nothing says that I am supposed to be uploading this type of evidence to the NVC at this stage (DS-160 and Affidavit of Support)

Our first package was pretty substantial, showing communication of over a decade and just under 10 visits together

Should I just bring updated evidence to the interview in Montreal in case they request it? Or would NVC send an RFE if they want me to upload updated evidence?

I just want to make sure I am not missing something here! Thanks so much for any advice you can provide!

My wife is here on 2 yr visa. Daughter on 10 yr visa. Instructions says to submit both green card copies front and back. My wife has hers. Can't find daughters. I do have a photo of the front. Looks like I need to file a I-90 for daughter to get new card. What do I do? Send front and back of wife and front of daughter stating can't find and we ordered a replacement?

Ok I have questions. Please help. A little confused right now

So our petition was sent to DoS on Feb 5th.

NVC stated they received it on Feb 18th

Today (Feb 25th) we received our NVC case number (after asking for it).

When I try to log in to CEAC it says not found ?

I read somewhere to use just the nvc case number and to put NA in passport number field. I tried this and it accepted it and showed me the following message

IN TRANSIT - Your case is in transit to the Consular Section. Your interview date was provided to you by the National Visa Center

Q1. Is this 100% accurate? NVC have forwarded our case to the consulate just 1 week after receiving it? This website says average time is currently 35 days?

Q2. Why does it say interview date has been provided by NVC? Is this just a generic/standard response?

Q3. I ve heard and read multiple times that you can submit your ds-160 and pay the fee when your status shows in transit . You don t have to actually wait until the consulate receives it as it only takes 5 days to get from nvc to consulate. Should I submit mine now and pay or wait some more?

Thanks in advance for your replies people. I am so confused rn! lol

My apologies if this is the wrong spot, I didn't see a K-2 section.

Help! So my fiance and her daughter have their interviews next week. My fiance has gathered up documentation and receive medical exams etc. The girl's father has suddenly decided not to sign a notarized letter of consent. We are freaking out a bit because she already has an appointment scheduled. Can she move forward with the interview appointment and take the husband to court afterwards? I'd imagine this will complicate things, but I just don't know to what extent or if we can overcome it. My fiance is from Mexico.

I'm assuming canceling the appointment wouldn't be a good idea either?

My fianc e had her K-1 interview yesterday (Feb 24, 2026) at the US Embassy in Riyadh. She is a Pakistani national.

The consular officer issued a 221(g) hold, explicitly citing the January 21 immigration pause for the 75 countries. However, as we all know, the K-1 is legally classified as a nonimmigrant visa and is therefore exempt from this freeze.

Has anyone from Pakistan (or any of the other 74 affected countries) had their K-1 interview after January 21 and were approved, either in Riyadh or elsewhere?

We have had a few people tell us and they were kind enough to share proof that they were issued a K-1 visa after January 21 while belonging to one of the 75 countries impacted by the Immigration Freeze.

I am putting together a packet for my local Congressman/Senator to initiate an inquiry and prove that the Riyadh embassy is misapplying the State Department's directive. Any links to timelines, redacted screenshots of recent approvals, or similar experiences would be incredibly helpful to build this case. Thank you!
