I filed cr1 and cr2 petitions

[telo 0]

Both petitions for my husband (CR1) and child (CR2) were filed at the same time in December 2013. They both are in Colombia right now. However, I have only gotten one interview appointment -March 17, 2015 -for my child (CR2) and not for my husband. How is this possible? Is it possible that they are going to get different interview dates? Please, help.

Anybody in a similar situation?

did you make sure that everything was sent for both of them at the NVC? Do they both have a case complete?

Thanks for replying!

Yes, everything was sent for both of them at the NVC. Only the CR2 case is completed at this point. Only the CR2 case has an appointment. They asked to send a copy of our marriage certificate, and they received it on Jan 06, 2015.

Then, they sent me an e-mail that says:
"The National Visa Center (NVC) received your documents on 06­JAN­15.

We are currently receiving an increased number of approved petitions from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. As a result, we are experiencing increased review times for documents received.

We expect it will be at least 60 days from the date we received your mail before we complete the review of your documents. We will notify you when we review your documents.

We are working to reduce these processing times and we appreciate your patience."

I called the NVC, and asked the same question about if it was possible my husband and stepchild (5 years old) would get different interview dates. She could not answer to that.

Hi,

Even though you filed for them at the same time, there are two independent cases. They will and were processed separately.

Proceed with the case for your child. The case for your husband will catch up. You can arrange it for them to have interviews on the same day by timing your paperwork submissions.

Hi Aaron,

Makes sense. I thought it was sort of a one package, "a group" where father/mother and child were processed at the same time. There was a case in my family where the husband (in USA) asked for my relative and her children, and they had their interviews on the same date.

I'm hoping it is still possible -there is still time- that my husband's case will catch up with my child's case. In case that happens, how can I arrange it for them to have interviews on the same day?

the child already has an interview. The paperwork was not timed.
