Just wondering if anyone has experience with using an asset to support their case for IR1 Immigration into the US. We are currently waiting an interview, and I always get nervous about this part. We own a home with significant equity in it, and are hoping to use this rather than obtain a co sponsor. Just wondering if anyone has used their asset, and what evidence they provided regarding the value? We have an appraisal from a local real estate agent, but wondering if anything more formal has been asked for? Very vague advice on the requirements for this from what I can see. Thanks for any help!

Hi guys! I got DQ'd on May 10th and waiting for a consulate interview but I am currently in LA on an O1 expiring in July. I know I should have just gotten an AOS but something complicated happened so I couldn't at first. Is it really taking 5-6 months to get a date scheduled? Should I just re-apply for an AOS here instead?

Hi, have you received the interview letter from US consulate Sydney? When is your priority date please? My priority date is late Sep 2022 (EB2 - NIW), DQed on July 2023. I am trying to figure out what is the current time for EB visas in US consulate Sydney. Thank you

Hi Amylee
One of my friends recently received the invitation after waiting for approximately six months. By now, you should probably have also received it. Could you please let us know if there are any updates regarding your invitation?

Is it just me, or has the consulate stopped providing interview-scheduling updates on their Facebook page?

 

The most recent one that I could find is from Dec 2022, but maybe they're being posted someplace else now?

 

Thanks!

Hello All,

 

We got our Sydney CR1 interview emailed letter today so I wanted to share for those of us who have been obsessively waiting on a timeline update 🙃.

 

Our interview date is October 18, 2023

Our DQ date was April 7, 2023

That makes it 4 months 7 days before our date is set, with an additional 2 months 3 days from reciept of the letter- so just over 6 months total from DQ to interview date. Hope this helps someone.

Worth pointing out though that yours is an EB app and your PD isn't current until next month, so no interview can have been scheduled for you yet anyway. Just for the sake of anybody else reading as you don't have your info on your profile and they may think you're applying via a different route without a wait for a visa.

 

Hope you don't have too long to wait once your PD is current, good luck.

Thanks kindly for pointing this out. I am waiting for an EB2 visa interview. PD will be current for January 2024 visa bulletin. Keeping my fingers crossed for the interview date

Congrats. Which visa category is yours? I am waiting on EB2 which requires the priority date on visa bulletin to become and remain current for a visa interview
