Hi! It’s an app called Case Tracker. You use to put a case number and get its status and more other 500 around the date... you can download on AppleStore or GooglePlay, ok?

I filed an I-130 petition for my husband in July of 2018.  Today his CR-1 visa was approved so we're near the end of the long wait to finally live together.  My husband and I arrived at the consulate in Rio de Janeiro this morning, just before 7 am, for his 7:40 am appointment.  At about 7:50 am my husband's name was called, to go to window 14 which is the one with a door that you close behind you when entering. I was more nervous than my husband was--we have a big age gap and my Portuguese is not great but he was very calm and confident.  We had front-loaded and side-loaded with lots of relationship evidence.  My husband was only asked a few questions in Portuguese by a very nice younger female American consulate officer. She asked him how we met, when we met, and how many times in person I had visited him in Brazil (8 times). I added, in Portuguese, that we had recently spent 11 days in Europe together, so a total of 9 trips together, plus the current one in Rio (7 days), so a total of ten face to face visits. The CO only asked me two questions, in English, my current profession, and how long I had been working in that field. After that she said everything was good, the visa was approved, and that it would arrive in about two weeks by courier service. The whole interview was maybe 5 minutes and we were done and approved. I couldn't believe how smoothly it went. We left the room and passed all the people waiting for their interviews after us and stepped out into the stairwell where we had one of the biggest hugs ever. I started to cry, and we walked out into the glorious warm sunshine of Rio in the morning of Brazilian Valentine's Day. Life is good!  And good luck to all of you still waiting.  Your day will come.

Hi, may I know your service center? Thanks.

Hi Everyone, on Wed 6/12, my husband and I received a  message from the NVC stating that 3 of our documents were Rejected. 2 of them (his passport bio page and birth cert) they requested another or better scan and our marriage licence was rejected because part of the paper was cut off. I uploaded and resubmitted the request items today. Does anyone know how long does it take for the NVC to review resubmitted documents? also does the NVC request all rejected  documents at once? I hope so, this is delay my honey love being here with me. I also wanted to let everyone know, when submitting scanned documents, be sure to have the entire forms and be sure that they are legible because the NVC is veeeerrryy ticky about everything!! If you dont the process could be delayed.

3 weeks every time they are rejected . Then about 2-3 weeks for an interview appointment then 4 weeks to that. Then a week for the visa

Well I hope these docs are good enough for them. If there was a problem with my tax forms or anything else, would the NVC request re submission all at once?
