At least you are with your spouse during the ROC, that makes it easier than being apart.

Any one else has the same opinion or just me

Time Processing is inhuman , specially for spouses in consular process.

Is unacceptable the way they treat cases

Lack of respect for human beings

Kill us day by day

Immigration process takes long time, it's better not to think about. Try to keep yourself busy with something, because eventually you will have to wait whether you like it or not. Some cases are still pending since 2 or 3 years.

The immigration process caused me PTSD.

If the beneficiaries home country has a quicker, more 'humane' processing time then the US spouse could always go and live there if you feel the US system takes too long.

Along with increased volume, you can thank the fraudsters who came before you. While the percentage of fraudulent cases is likely a fraction, USCIS\NVC\StDept tends to scrutinize applicants and documents in more detail.

I couldn't leave my husband I thought about it but desided to dcf so now I suffer with the heat being prego but I have my man with me everyday. When I first started doing research I was going to k3 but it's not available and takes even longer than the ir/cr visas from start to finish which is about 13 months. I don't think any of it is fair why should anybody be away from the one they love because of where they were born ??

I love my husband ?‍?‍?

This.

Inhumane was when an IR1 spousal visa took 3-5 years vs 1.

The world is too preoccupied with instant gratification. This is a process. It takes time and the government is not as fast as most people would want. C'ést la vie.

You can move and choose not to. We all live with OUR choices. Every choice has consequences, good and bad. You accept this everytime you make a choice. Enjoy living with your husband!

Which I completely understand I feel lucky I'm not away from my husband through the process but I'm still sacrificing a lot to do this
