• Filled out I-485
• Filled out I-693
• Biometics
• Affidavit of continued physcial presence in the USA (written and prepared by the person applying)
• Money order for the cost of the application

My husband is about to be on the last step of the CR-1 visa since he has lived in the states for almost 2 years. Our date to refile all of the information is in October to remove the conditional status. However he wants to go to Costa Rica ( where he's from) in November. His green card is valid until January 17th, 2023. Does anyone know if he is still able to travel without any problems so close to the expiration or does he have to wait until he gets the new green card without conditions? I just want to make sure it's not something like he can't travel within the last 6 months or something like that.

We received our letter from the NVC that gave us our case number. I believe the next step is fill out the DS 160 but when we go there, the site is also asking for an invoice id number. This number is not listed in the letter. Is that something we still need to wait for or how can we get it?

Phew,

It's been quite a journey! I've almost crossed this finish line. Check out this bonkers timeline.

Interview: June 29, 2021

Interview went great, nailed all the answers but interviewer claimed a file was missing in his packet and that it was a processing error on their end. He had to request to get it special delivered and that as soon as he received it in 3-4 weeks he will process the approval and get a notice for the oath ceremony.

Approval notice: July 12, 2022 - 3-4 weeks, yea right. 1 year later and 6 emails later and it finally arrived. So excited!

I just wanted to share my experience. I know the wait times are excruciating and at times feels like a denial is inevitable with the delays, but hang in there.

Thanks!
