I just got my email today - confirming that Dec 18th is my scan date! Thank god!

30 days is Sunday, January 17th for us. 45 days is February 1st. The race is on.

I will say I had one of our congressionals contact me last week about an inquiry I did when I was at USCIS (she was on maternity leave evidently) so I just emailed her today about the discrepancies of it saying in writing on the site 2-4 weeks, 30 days on the letter, but 45 days on the phone to see if she can inquire for me on Monday if I'm not approved by the 30 day mark :) I mean, it's in writing twice - they should be obligated to follow their own metric. Honestly, nothing may come out of this but hey, it's worth a shot.

Awesome, congrats! I knew yours wouldn't be far off.

Wow, let me know what she says please. Yeah, they should be held accountable to their own official estimates. I'm eager to see if your congresswoman is able to make a difference in your case. Never hurts to try!

Not saying it will help or not. But NVC is not binded by any contract. Yes they say it will take 30 days but again it's just estimate. What i have learn is it is a lottery what happens at NVC if you get through it quickly then it is your luck otherwise you are just stuck and then you can only prey.

Hey all, quick question. Am considering canceling my fiance application in order to marry and apply for a CR1. A lawyer I talked to says CR1 is taking about 6 months. Is that right? I had previously heard 13 months. Any insight would be useful.

Some get through in 6 months but the average is definitely higher than that. I would say closer to 10 to 12 months.
