After you get the immigration visa you are entitled to stay in your home country for 6month after six months the immigrant visa will be no longer valid.

Your 6months Visa validity starts counting from the day you had your medicals done which will also be printed as the Visa expiratory date on your immigrant visa.

Ahhhh okay very perfect then, we will wait. Thank you!! 😊😊😊😊

That sounds good, but be careful also as immigration law can changes at anytime.  I understand how frustrating this whole process has been, it makes me not even want to deal with immigration anymore. (Still waiting for interview date cc 8/8/18, Lagos Embassy).  With our current president not wanting any immigrant coming to the US, I dont think I will take that chance to have my husband wait for that long after his interview.  I will be too nervous to do that.  Again this is just my 2 cents, do what’s best for you and your family 😊

Hmmm you have a very good point sis, honestly I'm so tired of all the paperwork. NVC really dealt with us, kept sending back our documents and asking us to resubmit. We finally got CC on November 2nd and we're also waiting for Lagos Embassy 

 

I'll discuss with hubs and see if we can pray for guidance. Lord have mercy, this whole immigration experience is beyond exhausting. I prefer for someone to give me a hot slap everyday for 1 month than to go through this again 😫

Husband's interview is this week, I just checked his case number on the site, and it started "Administrative Processing", yesterday it said ready...... I guess they are looking at his files before he gets there? Is this normal? this process has been driving me crazy. 


His original time was Nov 27th but they moved it to Nov 29th due to them being under staffed. 

I-130 CR1 Timeline  Visa has been issued!!!!!! = ^.^= YAY!

My hubby’s initial interview date was October 12th. Then after AP, they moved it to Novermber 16th. FIVE ADDITIONAL WEEKS! So I think it’s common these days.... Good news is that you guys have the interview date! Good luck!!! ☘️☘️☘️

He had to send a message (Traveldocs etc) to them to get a confirm on what date since we got the embassy email before the NVC interview letter.

But it took us a bit longer to get the case number attached this his account since his old b1 visa interview was still suck to the account. =\ He was panicking about that since he thought they deleted his CR1 interview time slot. The lady on the phone told him it was not allowed to have two case number tied to the account or something.
