Do you mean that the CR-1 visa is approved and he is in the US?...if so then you are stuck with the I-864 until he dies, deported, or get citizenship. If he already live here and are doing an Adjustment of Status then of course it can be canceled, you have to prove to USCIS that there is an on-going relationship in order to get a visa. If there is no on-going relationship then they would deny the application.

I thought that if you enter on a cr-1 visa, there are conditions applied such as to stay married to your spouse and show you have been married more than 3 years and your marriage is real, then you will get the permanent residency. Since it is called Conditional resident visa for a reason. So if the guy is not truthful or want to stay married, she can surely file for a divorce and if her case is legit, he may not be able to live here. I would highly recommend getting a lawyer to look at your case and be truthful with everything.

One of my family member went through something similar but the guy ran back to pakistan so his whole application was abandoned.

Considering that they were married on 2012-10-23 and he arrived in the US last year.. they would have been married over 2 years.. so there would be no need for adjustment of status. If he went to the interview and got the visa (OP didn't update this part.. just that an interview was scheduled last year) then he is here, been married long enough to be allowed to stay here.

well in that case, i hope everything works in her favor. i always thought because it was called CR-1 visa, the conditions apply no matter what.

I would certainly say to hire a lawyer who may give you better option on how to work this in your favor.

Unfortunately, I don't think there is much hope. The sponsor will have to support this person. There is not a way out of this through divorce. This is why they have this requirement of having a sponsor. The visa issued would have been an IR-1..

Differences Between IR1 and CR1 Visas

• IR1 (IR stands for "Immediate Relative") Visas entitle their holder to receive Permanent Residency within the United States for a period of 10 years (may be renewed)
• CR1 (CR stands for "Conditional Residency") Visas entitle their holder to receive "Conditional" Permanent Residency within the United States for a period of 2 years

The deciding factor on which visa an applicant is issued (IR1 versus CR1 visa) is the amount of time that they have been married at the time the visa is issued. If an applicant has been married to their US Citizen spouse for a period of two years or greater they will be issued an IR1 Visa. If they have been married less than two years they will be issued a CR1 Visa. A CR1 Visa will result in the applicant obtaining "conditional" permanent residency within the US and after a period of two years the applicant can apply to "Remove Conditions" 90 days before the conditional permanent resident card expires and they will be issued a regular 10 year green card.

I haven't really checked in here in the past 3 weeks or so because I needed to stay far away so that I wouldn't stress over scan dates and CC dates. But now that we've reacher 30 days after the scan date, I'm so terribly nervous, I cannot even describe it. I'm super worried that we get a checklist or that we have to wait for ages. HOnestly, I don't think this anxiety will go away until after I have my passport back eventually, in the not too near future. It's driving me crazy. I wish there was something I could do to keep me busy, but I'm so tempted to log in already to stalk the website for that elusive third N/A. It's absolutely ridiculous, though. They just started working again

Thank you! I'm sorry you got a checklist. That must have sucked. Where are you at with NVC nowadays? I'm not known for my patience, so this is just really hard. Especially because my SO had some health issues, and I would love to be there to make sure things are going alright.

Seems like most cases are around 30 days for physical packets being sent in.

Not sure about Electronic Processing.

Either way, I'm just patiently waiting (only on day 4 ha ha)

Hello there all July NVC Filers,

Just checking in and little bit updates on our case. Our Petitions were sent to NVC on 23rd May, received on 30th June and our minor daughter's

Case #, IIN, AOS assigned and invoiced on 15th July and paid on 16th July. Me, the immigrant mother is still waiting on my Case#, IIN & AOS to be assigned and invoiced so that papa can pay the second one and send our packages together since we are not qualified to do EP method due to case number JHNxxxxxxxx.

We are thankful to God that our case looks to be moving faster than the time we expected but I cant help it going through this long process. It has been 12 months and 11 days without seeing each other.

Can someone help me out with the documents i need to send in to the NVC and what checklist i follow? My wife will be interviewing in Montreal. The welcome letter gives a document cover sheet that is barcoded and lists several documents you need to send in and check whether it applies to your case. On the department of state website it indicates i will be receiving an immigrant packet 3 and packet 4 after or at the same time immigrant visa fees have been invoiced. I downloaded the montreal packet and it is slightly different from the welcome letter document cover sheet with one big difference that the montreal checklist appears to require DS-260 barcode. I would like to submit my information as soon as I can. If there is anyone who interviewed with Montreal that can speak to their experience I would appreciate it. Thank you!

also two other questions....as a petitioner for my wife do i need to submit a copy of my passport? I think the answer is no

second question is I was previously married do i need to submit a copy of my divorce decree? I think the answer is no as this stage the info is mainly about my wife who has never been married?

Thanks in advance.

In the DS260 where it says: "Have you ever been refused a US visa" my advisor typed in "NO" but my husband was refused a tourist visa a year ago because he didn't prove that he had strong ties with his home country. Now is that a big mistake she made? Or should he just clarify that in the interview? Should I call NVC?

Call them ASAP to correct that.

Can they correct that? Someone told me they can't open the ds260
