I am so happy for you. :idea: I can not say in words... it was you who stick with the immigration journey and never give up.

Awesome news... Good luck with you life together.

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to give words of encouragement to couples out there who are struggling through this process.

I got married in February 2011 and started the CR1 process in March 2011. Now, 3 years later, almost to the day, Visa has been issued!!!!!!!

Our case went through with normal timing but visa was denied at interview in Jan 2012, got put in AP for 4 months, then sent back to USCIS for almost a year. It got reaffirmed and I attended the second interview with my husband on March 11, 2014. Out case status was AP with the date changing daily after that and on Tuesday my husband got called back to the Embassy but we didnt know why. Turns out they had some technical difficulties with their fingerprint machine the day he got biometrics done. They took his fingerprints again and he was given a yellow paper that said "Congratulations, your visa has been issued" and he was told that he could probably pick it up on Monday or Tuesday of next week. Today status on CEAC website changed to 'Issued'

I believe that everything happens for a reason and I know that if he would have been issued a visa the first time around, I would have never had a good relationship with my in-laws because they did not approve of our marriage. Now I have not only met them but stay in their home when I come to India and have a good relationship with them.

Me and my honey will be traveling to the US together very soon.

Thank you very much to everyone on visa journey and especially to Deep2009 who helped me put my packet together when I got my NOIR.

Do you think going to the interview really made the difference? I plan on going. My fiance is going to the New Delhi Embassy as well.
