Hello everyone. French citizen who applied from lebanon because my wife and i were working abroad at the time. I have been dq since the 2nd of March. The problem is that it has already been 3 months and a half, and since the timeline seemed off for the interview I decided to search for local group on social media and discovered that many people have been stuck in Lebanon under cr1/ir1 visas since January. Apparently the embassy is very slow and it could be linked to the newly appointed ambassador.

 

I have been pondering transferring my case to Paris.

The case is still at the nvc from what i gathered.

Can anyone advise me or give me any kind of timeline on that please? I'm afraid moving the case might mean new documents to produce and more time lost. I don't think I'll get anything under 4 months if I stay in Lebanon, and I'm wondering if it could be shorter and better taken care of in France? Will they consider me as a newly interview request or take in account my file and push it forward in your opinion. Priority date is June 2021, 19 months in process already..

 

Ty for all the help.

Who is the french citizen? Regarding the wait time in Lebanon, from what I have been seeing, it takes between 5 to 7 months to get an interview appointment at the US embassy in Lebanon.

The immigration process caused me PTSD.

I am,  so I know I can move it to France. Concerning lebanon, if your timeline is correct I would have around 3 more months to wait. So it does seem like moving it would not help, do you agree? (I don't know if you know how fast it goes in France? Couldn't find clear info but it seems to be around 3 to 4 months)

I have seen 2 people here who reported getting an interview scheduled in Beirut in about 6 months after getting DQ'd.
