Hello, i posted this on the forum twice today and no one has answered. so i will try here. can someone please explain to me the immigration time line. my fiancee lives in ghana, we will marry in August, and i thought with paperwork and all it would take 12-14months to complete the cr1 process. today i looked at the cr-1 immigration time line for ghana and it says 765 days, from NOA2 until time of interview. could this be correct. just last week it said 320 days. i read this website everyday for tips to help me along the way, but now im a little upset with what i read today. if anyone could shed a little light on what the timeline means i would appreciate it. i hope it was just a typo. thanks so much. van.

Timelines change all of the time. Same as the ability for people to post responses here, it changes all of the time. Give at least 72 hours before you cry that nobody is responding. Three posts in a row can be a bit much.

Enough with my lecturing.

The CR1 process is prone to being backlogged. Political climate may change, the number of applicants at a time may change, and numerous other factors can cause sudden and unexpected changes in processing times. I have seen things become current [processed within 2 to 3 weeks!] and suddenly backlogged for up to 8 years.

The high variability with the CR1 processing time is why many people file for K1 or K3 visas - it can be faster.

good luck.

I am not a lawyer. I am familiar with the immigration process, but any questions I answer are not advice or represented as being true for your situation in any form or manner. I am not liable if you read what I have written and act upon it. Do your own research, ask an attorney for assistance, and make up your own mind. Nevertheless, I may attempt to answer questions from time to time to give you an idea of what to search for in finding out your answer.

You may want to look at the timelines and filter to get results for Ghana.

The timelines will fluctutate depending on how fast the service centers are working. Also, for the CR1 times may differ according to how quickly people respond to the requests from NVC once approved.

Good luck :)
