CR-1 visa for my wife (merged threads)

[zubeirkhan991 0]

I applied for a visa in 2020 for my wife, and recently it was approved about a week or 2 ago after sending documents back and forth. I received the email for being documentarily qualified and wanted to know any info for timeline if anyone can share their experiences. I live in California, U.S.A but the interview for my wife will be in Islamabad, Pakistan. I know covid isn't what it used to be and places are slowly opening up as of 2021 and 2022 but still who knows

Your case is in the queue for Pakistan at NVC.  Once the case reaches the front of the queue, NVC will schedule the interview.  It could be several months to a year.

I'm a U.S citizen and my wife is from Pakistan. We got married in 2020 and I started her petition paperwork in January 2021. After a long time her case finally became Documentary qualified in July 2022 I got the email stating it is documentarily qualified but since then I have not heard anything. I asked but was told 2 time that case is currently at NVC. Her interview is supposed to take place in Islamabad, Pakistan. If anyone has gone through the same experience I would really appreciate any information on how long it might take. Also attached is a screenshot and when I applied for my wife petition for about all of 2021 and half of 2022 were it says VISA CLASS it said "CR1" but now it has been changed to "IR1" if anyone has any information on that I would really appreciate it. Thank you

You have been married more that 2 years, so the class changed to IR1.  This is no different than the CR1 from the interview standpoint, but she will get a 10 yr GC when she eventually gets her visa and enters the US.  
 

Good Luck!

Has anyone had an visa interview at the embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan in last year or so ? If so what was the date you were documentarily qualified and how long it took after that for visa interview. Also I would really appreciate if anyone has any information on the interview's and progress they have had at Islamabad Paksitan embassy. Also I was told by some friends to contact your local state senator office and see if they can reach out to NVC for any update as they might get a quicker response, and I did search the website and they do have sections were they help on immigration
