May I ask the difference between side-load evidence and front-load evidence?

-Front load :main evidence when you submit to USCIS. Since USCIS approved our case, so we need to think and send all the best evidence.

-Side load: NVC is the middle-man and they not approved or deny our case. So, if you have any other evidence not submit, you can send it together with documents required  for NVC stage. More proofs you got, more better for the case. Why? Because all the evidence you submit will be  send together with another document,and the CO will take a look at it before they conduct the interview.

Yes we both live together overseas so we have put rental agreement and joint bank account as one of the main evidences for USCIS. Is it enough?

If both of you  live overseas(Italy), why you not do DCF?

We could have but did not know we could until we filed already plus we have things to complete overseas and DCF would take too little time to complete. I’d like to ask you if you think joint account and rental agreement is good enough plus we lived together for 4 years.

You already have one of the  most important evidence: lived together for 4 years.

Yes since September 2014 but as a couple, we got married in July 2017 so we are CR1. I don’t know if they still consider pre-marriage together living.

Pre-marriage proofs IMO is the best evidence,and Italy not a high fraud, so you don't need to worry. you can check my timeline, it a high fraud place. I'm even flight back and go to the interview with my spouse. I sit back on the chair behind my spouse. the CO see me back there, and he only asked my spouse 1 question: Do you have any other picture beside these ones( picture we submit at USCIS and NVC). My spouse pull out the one which we took 10 years ago together. Visa approved.

Great to hear it! Hopefully everything will be fine. We just hope will be fast. Maybe for Italy will be faster I don’t know. I noticed many on this forum do not live together and still get approved. So we should be fine I believe.

It is going to happen soon, keep your head up hon.

In total, ours took 13 months but could have been 11 months, had to reschedule the interview in Sydney.

My husband cr1 case with biological dad, took 14 months from beginning to end

[Dianalorena 1,153]

Mine is going to take around 18 months. Yeah, I know. It is what it is! 

But considering where you're from I'm sure it will take closer to a year total. 

there's an excellent NVC process guide here on visajourney. Best of lucks!

What do you mean? Italy is not a high fraud country, pretty safe so it shouldn’t take that long! Hopefully

You are right, low fraud countries takes closer to a year (12-14 months). Hers was 18 months. My country is considered low fraud and my husband cr1 case was 14 months from beginning to end. Cr1 is a one a*** long process.
