Can anyone tell me how tough is this Embassy? We're in the middle of CR1 process, and I know that it's REALLY hard to get a tourist visa in Armenia, and tourist denials are very high, but what about immigrant visas?

We are concerned because we're gay couple, and there's lots of hate and discrimination towards LGBT people in Armenia. :/
