Dont worry I am sailing in same boat too. I know near about 5 members during my stay at VJ who are only CR/IR1 like us. No one told me about visa journey I find it myself during search one day after marriage and unfortunatly when i did i missed K3 which is sad but whatever is in luck what u get. Dont worry have patience and pray to god you are almost their buddy.

well consider yourselves lucky that you didn't do K-3. it is just a waste of time an energy when it comes filing a K-3 for indian embassy. with K-3 your spouse comes here quicker by maybe month or two. However, in the recent months the K-3 has been running parallel to CR. i wish i had just done the CR

hi

thank you guys for showing your presence in our time of pain and agony of waiting..... I was wondering the same things.... am i lonely soul here.. I guess the change in FEES by USICS has led to Rush in applications to their Service centres and thats why all is holded up... I heard some where they got 60,000 applications per month in in the last 2 months....

God help us man

Hey Jigi "DON'T WORRY " We have also opted for IR/CR case as the timelines compared to K3 is nearly the same. We were advised by an official at the delhi consulate when we went to file for k3, though he didn't accept our papers, but advised us to file IR/CR in US. The best part is that you don't have to go through the headache of applying greencard and the other stuff. I am waiting for my NOA2. I hope n pray that we get it soon. I hope the NVC guys stop bothering you so much.
