Anyone recently do a CR1?

I'm currently doing mine and our case should be pretty straight forward. No criminal background or anything like that.

 

I have all the evidence except any joint financials like bank/house/utilities.

 

I'm not sure if the process changed or anything, but I'm hearing people are going through a lot more scrutiny now at the I-130 stage?

Where are you hearing that?  If you have a good case and can provide solid evidence for the I130 filing, I would file as soon as you can.

 

Good Luck!

Shared finances and such are not required as evidence for consular cases because USCIS understands that couples who live in different countries usually don’t have that type of evidence. 
 

Haven’t heard anything about people going through more scrutiny. Where did you hear that?

Ok. I decided to have a consultation with a lawyer just to answer some questions. I assume it is their job to make sure we have "everything", so she was saying that I needed more evidence or I risk a RFE.

 

As for more scrutiny, was a youtube video I was watching from a lawyer this past year. But now that I think about it, I believe he's just talking about what is mentioned in visajourney's guide about how USCIS now requires these types of evidence.
