Hey everyone Ive been looking for some idea on how long a IR1 interview takes after the case is forwarded to the embassy. I know it depends on the county and all but I couldnt find much info and it makes planning anything so diffucult (and im a planner). We didnt file for a K3 so I know it might take longer right?

any help would be super appreciated (waiting really sucks)

Hi Becki

Unfortunately Ciudad Juarez has a long wait time for CR/IR immigrant visa interviews. They were taking a year but I think from what I read in a post somewhere this has dropped down to around 9 months. Don't take that as gospel though. Prepare yourself for a long wait :((F)

You can find me on FBI

My case is ir-1 and i have not applied for k3 too. NVC has assigned case number for me on june 24 but still have not scheduled interview date. I recommend you to not be a planner in this case. just be cool and do your own life until any news from NVC. I know it's hard, specially for couples who used to be with each other for years. It's more than one year that my wife moved to US in order to apply for me but actually i'm not expecting to have my visa in hand earlier than next spring. In this stage, I sent a lot of emails to NVC and each time I received a frustrating reply which stating they are scheluling interview date and no more information is available. please be informed that I'm in Iran and my interview embassy is Abu Dhabi so hopefully your process time is more shorter than me.

Good luck

Hi Becky:

Our paperwork has been sitting in Ciudad Juarez since Jan 23 of this year. We still don't have an interview date. Its taking about a year. They originally told us 6-9 months then it went from 9-11 months. Well its now November so we are hoping to receive his paperwork this month and expecting an interview next month.
