But doesn’t spousal visa mean you’re apart from your spouse for 3 years? That’s the reason why we took the K1 route.

No.  What makes you think that?  Average spousal visa time is about the same as a K-1.

That’s what our immigration lawyers told us. And we didn’t want to be apart for 3 years, so we took the k1 route. That was said to go through in 6-8 months average. 

Unfortunately, your lawyer was deeply misinformed. That is simply not the reality of the situation right now.

Your immigration attorney was wrong.  FIRE that attorney today!!!  A spousal visa is far, far superior for most couples, imo.

So, 15 months of approval time from the USCIS, when should we expect the interview to happen in that case? 

No idea, depends on the country. Your profile and timeline are empty.

VJ average is 595 days from start to visa in hand.  Average is 4 months after USCIS approval.

Right now it just says your case was received on the USCIS website, it’s driving me crazy that’s all they keep showing! 

That will be the status until you get either an RFE or approval notification.....later this fall.

Then it will be 300 more days of frustration.

 

Immigration will be slow.  You are just on this first step - K1 visa   Next will be EAD wait, then AP wait, then AOS wait, then ROC wait.  All these steps will take several months to a few years.  Patience is key, not to help the processing, but to keep the stress level down.

Thank you for your help! 

I wish we had better news, but the reality is that K-1s are just as slow as spousal visas, but a lot more difficult later...my opinion.
