Don't have a timeline? Don't know how to get started with it? Do it for the statistics sake: VJ video guide

Filing for a USC spouse visa (IR-1/CR-1) and not sure what comes next? Check out the VJ IR-1/CR-1 guide

Want to know what's happening with your case? Here's the USCIS tracking page (get an account and see if the case's been 'touched'!). Don't get your hopes up though, some cases never even appear there despite being successfully processed.

So a quick question, out of curiosity. Has anyone bought tickets for traveling yet? My husbands interview is June 17 and I'm wondering when I should reserve the tickets. From what I have heard Romania is usually a two day wait to receive your visa after the interview so I was going to plan on giving him at least 1 week afterwards. Wondering if that's not enough time though.

Also wondering if I should have my husband bring any relationship proof. We've been married 3 years this Summer and have a daughter together. I sent photos in our original application but that's it. Nothing was asked for either. But maybe I should have him bring more photos and a FB chat transcript? We mostly skype though.

Until the Visa is picked up in your hand I would not be buying a ticket.

I talked to my travel agent and will probably just go ahead a book a refundable ticket. She can change it with a small fee worst case scenario.

The answer is an unequivocal no. Until you receive the passport back in hand with visa, do not even think about buying a non-refundable ticket. You have waited this long. Please wait a little more just being on the safe side.
