Fast Tracked CR-1?

[mandyg 0]

Hi all,

I am an Australian citizen and my boyfriend is a US citizen.

He is coming to Australia on a work/travel visa for 12 months and we are wanting to get married while he is here.

Ive read that Australia doesn't allow DCF but since we are both living abroad we could get our 1-130 fast tracked. Is this correct?

Does anyone have any info on this? Anything would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Mandy

Filing for abroad may get auto expedited. However CR1 process is 12 - 14 months (without any glitches)

I am living in Ethiopia with my husband and our I-130 was expedited - around 30 days (we've got an RFE though). There is a thread on this topic.

We received the NOA 2 very quickly through California Service Center but since then there hasn't seemed to be much expedite from being abroad. We are waiting for an interview to be scheduled at Sydney consulate now and it's been 14 months so far.. Good luck!

Our petition was received and approved in two or three weeks.

At the NVC stage, we could have been approved in 8 months but I delayed for two months at the beginning, and another two months after an checklist. From start to finish (visa in hand) it took 11 months. It could have been much faster.

Send more information rather than less, be very thorough, and read instructions (my checklist was due to the I-864 taxable income not matching my tax return-DOH!)

and when submitting documents check and double check and triple check, like in my case, made a small mistake and now have to wait more days
