If in the interview letter it says "Preference category: IR1", it means my visa will be IR1 or at the POE the officer decides if IR1 or CR1? (we will have 2 years of marriage in July 2007 but I intend to fly to the States in June)

IR1 is the visa category. Yes the POE officer will decide if you receive 2 year or 10 year.

Adriana,

The same thing happened with Daniel's visa. It says Category IR-1, but he will get a CR-1 since we will have been married for less than two years when he enters the States with the visa. If you enter in June, you'll get the CR-1, and then you'll have to file the application to remove conditions as soon as you get there.

Too bad...because your two year anniversary is so close.

But at least you'll be back with your sweetheart. :thumbs:

IR1 is the visa category. Yes the POE officer will decide if you receive 2 year or 10 year.

December 11, 2006: I-130 Petition signed for in Frankfurt.

December 21, 2006: Credit Card charged $190.

February 6, 2007: Heard back from Frankfurt. They want proof that our relationship is bonafide.

February 8, 2007: Sent proof (old emails, joint bank account statements, story of how we met)

February 24, 2007: I-130 Approved. Received Packet 3 in the mail.

February 26, 2007: Faxed OF-169 (checklist) to Immigrant Visa Unit in Frankfurt; Mailed back DS-230 Part I

March 2, 2007: Received Packet 4 (Interview Appointment Scheduled)

June 27, 2007: POE Boston.

July 23, 2007: Went to local social security office and applied for number in person (although D had checked off the box to receive one on the DS-230).

Thank you all! I prefer to remove conditions later than to wait another month far away from my love. :whistle:

Adriana,

Just reread my post--I gave you false information. You won't have to file to remove conditions until ninety days before your two year anniversary of entering the states with your CR-1 visa. Geez...sometimes I respond too quickly and then realize I've given wrong information. Maybe you knew this already, though.

Ah well...it's good you won't have to file any more applications for almost two years! :)

Sorry for the misinformation. :unsure:
