Just wanted to let everyone know that my husband was approved for the IR-1/CR-1 visa last week. Our appointment was on Valentine's Day and I could not have asked for a better V-Day gift. I didn't really care about that holiday before, but it holds a special place in my heart now!

We filed the I-130 at the consulate in middle of October and will have his visa by the end of the month (Feb.), so it only took 4.5 months or so to get his visa. His interview was ridiculously easy, maybe because we are married and have a baby? They didn't even care that we didn't have our marriage license extract. They only asked him how we met, where we got married, if my family came for the wedding, what kind of work I did in the States and if we have any children (our baby was with us). The questions were so easy we thought it was a trick, but she said "Tout bagay anfom" and that the visa would be ready in about a week. We are thrilled that this process is over! Now to plan our move to the US.

What did you bring in with you at the interview as far as paperwork? Thanks

We didn't take much to our interview. Pictures from our wedding, a small album of our pictures from before we were married, and our 4 month old baby. I think our son was the key piece. tongue.gif

In our packet we had all of our evidence for co-mingling finances (lease with both names, bank account statement, etc.).
