Hello, is there any chance someone can point me to or help make an Abbreviation Glossary for some of the most used terms on this site? I'm actually willing to do this myself and make this the thread for it, if other seasoned members can help provide the most used terms that float around here for us newbies.

 

As someone going through the process of a CR-1/IR-1 visa, It took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure out IL means interview letter, and not the state of Illinois. 🙃

 

So:

 

IL = Interview Letter

DQ = Documentarily Qualified

 

Any others?
