4 month time limit?

[Safety Chick 5]

Hi again,

A bit confused after reading some forums. we are applying for IR1/CR1.

Is there a time limit to send all the info to the NVC and to do the interview in Sydney? we got our NOA2 in late March and just today sent the payment for the IV and still have 2 weeks before we can send the affidavit of support info(waiting for IRS transcripts...).

A bit confused since I saw somewhere that you have to get your interview done within 4 months from the petition approval.... is it 4 months once it arrives in the Sydney consulate?

Thanks

Don't worry. You have one year to submit your documents to NVC at each stage. What I mean is, if there is no activity on your file for one year it will become void. After your case is complete, the NVC will schedule you an interview at the Sydney consulate. From what I understand there is no timing restrictions on that because you have to attend when they tell you to unless you reschedule.

You can get through this process quickly or slowly, it's really up to you.

All the best.

Thank you so much for putting our mind at ease. Hope everything goes quickly for you too.
