Hi 👋

Just sharing some things I have been curious about since starting our CR1 journey last month.

Knowing USCIS is both understaffed and we are living through a pandemic, plus there has been a proclamation affecting a large number of visa types, I am curious about what trends (if any) folks have been noticing around process times, specifically CR1 1-130s. I have seen some mixed reactions and comments across different threads - some saying things have slowed, others noticing faster approvals and others not noticing much of a difference.

Would love to hear your take on things. I have pretty much accepted that regardless of the above it is both a random and slow process 😉
