@emeditz congratulations!

 

@Josh B K Did you get DQ'd yet? If so, what was your timeline from submission of docs to getting DQ'd?

NVC publishes their case review time online, and it's pretty accurate: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html

@Cookie88, Sorry for my slow replies. I got DQ'd on Feb 12, 2025. I submitted documents on Feb 4, 2025; so, the time from submission to DQ'd was 8 days. 

Can you help me with a question? What is the best way to use VisaJourney to get hints on how long the wait for an interview in Ciudad Juarez is likely to take?

I doubt this answers your question, but there are some overall thoughts and graphs at the link below: "IR1 Visa processing is ramping up. There is likely a significant backlog that will take 8-12 months to clear given the slow down last year. It appears IR1 processing is taking priority over K1s at the moment. CR1 Visa processing (couples married less than 2 years) is following the same trend as IR-1 Visas."

 

Otherwise you may need to look for a Facebook-specific group or elsewhere on social media. In my case, my wife follows Telegram channels where other Iranians post about what to expect at the different embassies, including the wait times. (Telegram is like WhatsApp.)

You could try searching for timelines with Ciudad Juarez as the interview location. Timeline search result page is not very usable though.

 

Outside of VJ, Reddit sometimes has helpful info, as well as this discord: "discord dot gg/PYWbmkdu" (you'll need to fix the URL, VJ seems to resist posting external links)
