@SimonNH 1. My interview is next week, and I got DQ'd in October 2. The priority date is irrelevant, they're only concerned about DQ date 3. I'd recommend joining "K-1 and CR-1 VISA Process for Aussies" on Facebook, there's a very good support network there.

I have an upcoming interview for my CR1/IR1 visa at the Sydney Consulate in Australia. My wife and I both live Australia, and therefore we are using assets on the affidavit of support submission. We definitely have sufficient assets, however, my wife has had her bank account in the USA since she was a kid and therefore her mum's name is also on the account (i.e. it's a joint account). Do you think this would be an issue at the interview? Does anyone have any previous experience with this?

@AshleyB last week

@AshleyB I've just got my interview date (21st March 2023) and my DQ date was mid October 2022. Join the K-1 and CR-1 VISA Process for Aussies group on Facebook, lot's of very helpful people & information

Just wondering if anyone has recently changed their originally designated consulate to London recently for CR-1/IR-1 processing? I'm a British citizen, but currently reside in Australia. The projected DQ to interview timeframe at the Sydney Consulate is 8-10 months, so if there's an opportunity to shorten this timeframe I'd be interested in reducing it.

We're currently at the NVC stage, but our documents are due to be reviewed in the next 1-2 weeks, I've been googling endlessly to find out how long we'll be waiting for an interview date at the Sydney Consulate after we've been DQ'd. Hoping some of you could help with the following; a) Is there a website that shows the wait time? (I know there is for non-immigrant visa interviews at the Sydney Consulate) b) How quickly have people been moving from the DQ stage to having an interview set up in Sydney? (Particularly since the consulate has reopened). c) Once we're DQ'd is it worthwhile ringing the Sydney Consulate greencard phone number to understand wait times? Or will they just give a stock standard response?
