Expect 12-14 months for the entire process to be done.

I would say you should expect it to take longer. My wife is from Mexico, we sent our documents away on January 10, 2018 and our interview is on March 19, 2019. This was with an approved expedited interview, so we hit 14 months on an expedited case. Ciudad Juarez takes forever to give out interviews; from what I've gathered perusing other people on this site who went through Juarez, most people end up waiting about 6-9 months after NVC Case Complete to get an actual interview. Stay strong and stay positive, it's a long road ahead!

She is in Mexico without a tourist visa for the US.

 

Just do your best to use it as an opportunity to visit your partner's country, explore, get to know their friends and family better, and let your love grow. This process isn't easy on any of us and can be incredibly trying, frustrating, and at times it will fill you with desperation. You've got a great community here who will help you get through it and to remind you that you're not alone.

Thanks for the well-wishes. Lots of anxiety going into the interview knowing that this is the end. We're just ready to be together.

i could probably be wrong then...waiting for them to call me back and i will ask...thank you so much for your help. let the waiting game begin.

I 130a

 

the purpose of this form is collect additional information of the spouse

 

. If you are filing for your spouse, he or she must complete and sign Form I-130A, Supplemental Information for Spouse Beneficiary. If your spouse is overseas, Form I-130A must still be completed, but your spouse does not have to sign Form I-130A. Form I-130A must be submitted with Form I-130.

 

if he didn't sign it,  it didn't get sent in unless you have given a POA from your spouse for him to complete and sign the form

 

it is helpful to not only do your own account here and a timeline but to read the above guide and/or USCIS instructions and follow them closely
