Hi folks!

We finally got the visa interview Feb 18, 2010 @ the American embassy in Copenhagen @ 3 pm :dance: . We are so happy it´s ridicioulous lol. This process has taken 2 year due to my education and a "brief" stop at the IRS.

Still got a few questions...

My husband is comming out this Saturday and will stay until March.Both he and my so got US passports/citizenships. Wondering if it will be okay to bring them along for the interview ???

Also, on the interview letter it says : Preference category:CR1 conditional spouse of US citizen.

We married August 10, 2007 but when we filed we hadnt been married for two years which is the requirement for an IR1 visa. Will this mean I - all though we´ve been married for more than two years- that I still will be a conditional resident and will have to adjust status after two years in the states?? Or will they change that at the embassy??

Congratulations on your interview! :dance: I believe it is embassy specific but generally at least one US citizen is allowed in with you. You might want to check with your particular location to see if both your husband and son will be allowed in.

The IR1 classification is determined by the date you activate your visa not when you apply so you will qualify for the IR1. The embassy should definitely note that when you go for your interview.

Good luck!

:thumbs: I had the same thought, although our 2nd year anniversary will be on July 2010. Thanks for this one.
