USCIS international field offices

[Slicks23 6]

Hello everyone,

 

We had our cr1 processed at the USCIS Seoul field office before it was closed down, back in 2018.  My question is, did my wife get interviewed by a USCIS officer or a consulate worker? If she did get interviewed by a USCIS officer, is it the same as getting interviewed in the States at a USCIS field office? I just hope we can get approved without the i-751 interview because it looks like it'll be a long long wait otherwise...

 

Thanks for your time!

USCIS office does not conduct the CR-1 visa interviews.  DOS conducts visa interviews and approves visas.  I know that isn't the answer you wanted, unfortunately, some of us will likely have I-751 interviews.  My wife and I have been waiting since early 2019.

No because Korea and the US are different countries even if the had an "USCIS interview" in Seoul.

ROC 18 month extensions are the norm now.  It does not prevent her from filing for citizenship and potentially have one combo interview.
