Since the defining factor that determines whether IR1 or CR1 is how long you've been married, it stands to reason people married more than two years are likely to have MORE evidence of a bona fide relationship to present.  Further, the Consular Officer will KNOW the marriage date and thus, the duration of the marriage.  To the extent the additional evidence and marriage duration impact the Officer's thinking ahead of the actual interview, there may well be less scrutiny in an IR1 case than a CR1 case.  This would depend on the difference in the length of marriage.  I wouldn't expect much difference between a 16 month marriage and one of 25 months.

 

Often, when we are not "satisfied" with answers, the problem is in the way the question was asked. 

 

You are very right. You actually answered my question clearly. Thanks allot, I truly appreciate it. You are one of the best on the forum, keep it up.

Yup, that's what I said. By any other means but timing the filing, it getting approved (that depends on you delivering necessary documents and finishing medical, interview and payments) you receiving visa, and activating it. And yes, there's cases which has been dragged out so long, they've expired and had has to start all over again, so that would fall to category "denied".

 

Pushbrk, very well said there, mate! 

Approved I-130s dont expire.

More correctly, "I-130 APPROVALS" are what do not expire.
