Hello everyone.....

WOW it's been a few months since I've been here. My CR1 case was completed back in November and the way things were looking I was going to be waiting for ever. Until..... well, I had filed for a K1 back in the day when we were still dating but found out the wait for the interview was somewhere between 18 and 24 months after aproval by USCIS. So, we got marriend and started the CR1 process instead, forgetting about the K1.

Here's the twist, we finally got notice for the K1 interview for this March. After giving it some thought and a lot of praying, I sent the IV unit a request to be interviewed for the CR1 in place of the K1 along with, you know, case info and a copy of the marriage cert. Guess what? it worked!!!!! I did have to call them a few times and was able to track the DHL shipment as the NVC told me the date they shipped the package.

Anyway, I'm nervous all over again. We have the interview in less than two weeks and well, got to get everything together to go down there to go with her to the interview.

Well, I just wanted to share all this with you guys..... I suppose we are all in this together, through good and bad!!!

Wish us luck and thanks ahead of time.

Good News! CR-1 visa is a good one, as it will give one the permanent residency right away after the arrival in 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
