I haven't, but I'm on the cusp, DQ'd Nov 16. However I imagine with Thanksgiving, it might come a bit later this week.

Any updates on IL for those DQ'd in November? I thought maybe it would be today as end of month but nothing through

Still waiting. We’re on an IR5, everyday is one day closer though.

My spouse will have her CR1 Interview at the London Embassy in Early Jan .
Issue is that her passport is expiring 6 months and 10 days AFTER the interview.  she does not have enough time to renew her passport since she needs to have immigration medical done before the interview and the passport cannot be renewed this quickly between the medical and the CR1 interview date. 

How long does the passport need to be valid for at the time of the interview, I read somewhere that It needs to be valid for 6 months from the date the US immigration  stamps the CR1 visa?

thanks.

@usa_resident_2023 When did your spouse receive the DQ email (which date), if I may ask, please?

Guys, I have some questions to help with my anxiety. This process is draining… 

first: I just submitted all my documents, when do you think I will get my DQ. 
 

2. When am I likely to receive my IL 

 

3. then finally which month will be ideal for my interview based on the thread ? 
 

thank you 🙏🏽

You're referring to the DS-260 and affidavit of support documents?  And you've already had your i-130 approved?  If so, I believe I received my wife's DQ 3 weeks after we submitted documentation for DS-260 and the affidavit of support.  That took a little longer than it would have because we had to resubmit a couple of things that we did wrong initially.  After that, it took 2 weeks to get the interview date.

 

So if your timeline parallels ours, you should get your DQ later this month, and you'll probably have a February interview.  But that's of course just speculation and assuming everything checks out with your documents that you submitted.

@Ivjeremylv thank you for your explanation. And yes I’m referring to DS 260, affidavit of support and civil documents. 
thank you so much for your response. I hope Christmas and new year holidays don’t prolong the process.

 I was DQed 10th Nov so a bit after you, but I don't think anyone has received an IL yet for the batch due to go out end of Nov
