CR1/CR2 - interview scheduling

[Louis61404 133]

What is the process for a CR1 and CR2 interviewing together.  Once in NVC, it seems they don't always approved at the exact same time - so how do they interview together?  Or must they go to both interviews?  Or they just both show up at the first one?

 

This is a general question, I know the embassies are closed due to Covid-19.

Ask the NVC to join them together and then you can submit just one I-864 AOS fee.   

[Louis61404 133]

They definitely recognize they're together, because you only pay one 864 fee.  After paying the first, it recognizes it on the second and you're not forced to pay twice.

 

But, it's too late to join them, as the first one has already been DQ'ed.  Just waiting for the second one.

Not too late - it hasn't been scheduled or shipped to the consulate.

Do you know what would happen with the interviews if they aren't joined?

 

I can check with NVC now about your suggestion - but would like to know if anyone has been in the same spot as me in the past.

You don't need to contact them until they are both DQ.

The consulate can still do them together by combining the appointments.  The child requires an interview and may be asked a few questions based on their age.

We in same boat. Me (CR1) and my kids (CR2). Don’t worry you will all together on interview. We called NVC about 2 month ago and asked same question when cases of my kids got DQ and mine not. They said it’s family immigration and who first get DQ, will reserve a place in the interview queue for all.
