Yea... 

You guys did cr 1 ? I think it's longer...

Ours is k1.. 

Hoping...

Thank you for answering 

CR1/IR1 isn't necessarily longer, I don't think... anyway, we started with CR and because the process took so long we ended with IR lol

Hope you get an answer soon!

I went for an immigrant  spouse visa today and the consular officer checked all my documents, he said everything looked great but said he was going to send an email and review my file again. He gave me my passport. My  husband lives in the US. Can anybody tell me how long it takes for AP from their experience. He said he was going to send me some questions in the email to answer, so i am thinking it is a DS 5355 Form. Please advise. 

 

Thank you,

Hi . My husband filed B1/b2 visa for my parents. They were refused the visa on the interview date but after few days we got a mail for filling up the ds 5535 form . what is the purpose ? does that mean they might still get visa or they are still eligible for visa processing?
