Can anyone tell me about how long it took after your interview (or your spouse's interview) before he/she received their visa? Im flying to Moscow next weekend to attend my fiancé's interview with him. I don't have a return ticket because we want to fly back together. We have family to visit & stuff but I would really like to know how long we're looking at here.

Mine was there within a week.

I'm the beneficiary.

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.

Thank you! We're looking at flying back together January 13th with a December 17th interview date so that should hopefully be enough time. Just wanted to make sure. We also have the holidays messing with our timeline because of Christmas & New Years.

Within a week, but she lived in a Moscow suburb, may take longer to mail to other areas.
