Need help please. So looking at my wife's visa I see that it says IV Issue date 8/22/17, IV expiration date 8/30/17, is this even possible? Embassy is closed until monday so I cant even speak to anyone there to clarify this and the thought of having just a few days to arrange a flight drives me crazy. Has anybody experienced anything similar?

Your interview was this past Tuesday? When was the medical completed?

Relationship:     First met 2015, Married since Oct 2016

Spoiler

2015 Apr - First met and started chatting online (he was in the US on a J-1 visa)

2015 Sep - J-1 visa expires (2 year home stay requirement)

2016 Feb - First trip to China (10 days): met friends and family, celebrated Spring Festival (Chinese New Year), lots of sightseeing (including seeing pandas), and lots of food

2016 Feb 06 - Purchase matching jade necklaces to mark engagement

2016 Jun/Jul - Second trip to China (10 days): lots more sightseeing, food, and time with friends/family

2016 Sep/Oct - Third trip to China (10 days) this time with my parents so that my parents could meet him and his mom, along with lots of sightseeing and food (i'm sure you've picked up on a trend by now :D)

2016 Oct - At the end of the time in China my parents, myself, and Xuan all traveled to Canada (7 days) so that we could get married, but unfortunately his mom couldn't come along with us.

2016 Oct 08 - Wedding day on top of Mount Washington on Vancouver Island, and it had just snowed the night before. (L)(L)

2017 Jan - Fourth trip to China (7 days), you guessed it: food, family, friends, spring festival, ...


The CR-1 Process:    NOA1 - PD 27 Dec 2016 (TSC)

Spoiler

2016 Dec 21 - Sent I-130 packet (along with G-1145 for e-notification) by USPS priority mail express (1-day), but missed the pick-up so it won't actually leave till the next day

2016 Dec 23 - Delivery confirmed by USPS

2017 Jan 03 - Payment drawn from bank account

2017 Jan 04 - Text and email confirming USCIS receipt of petition, assignment to Texas Service Center for processing and SRC case number

2017 Jan 09 - Received I-797c notice of action by mail (NOA1) with assigned priority date of 27 Dec 2016

2017 ??? ......... just waiting patiently for NOA2 (hopefully by April/May if they ever stop transferring cases from Nebraska)

Yes the interview was this past tuesday and medical was 2 weeks ago

Yeah, then that is really strange. It should be like February of 2018 (6 months from medical, since that was done first). I guess you either have to just try and arrange everything fast (if you can) or just wait and call on Monday to have it straightened out. Seems like they made a mistake, but I totally understand not wanting to wait to find out. But that is not much notice at all to try to arrange such a major trip/change.

Guys, I think this might be a little out of topic here, but do you know if the sponsor/joint sponsor affidavit can be scanned and printed or it need to be the original signature? thanks

It can be scanned and printed. Just make sure it is signed.
