This may be a silly question and I could email our lawyer, but I bug the poor lady enough as it is
We applied for my husband s IR1 exactly 1 year ago. Our lawyer tells us that we are just waiting on an appointment letter so I have always assumes the next step is that we receive an appointment letter, make travel plans, and my husband has his appointment.
However, as I read lots of posts I see people saying things like, our case is marked closed, but still waiting on appointment. or our CC date was ____, but we re still waiting for our appointment. and I am confused by that.
I know every situation is different so here s a little background on our visa journey if it helps:
In our situation we needed a 601 waiver approval prior to applying for my husband s IR1. We joyfully received his waiver approval in July 2018 We then paid his visa fees. His application and all necessary documents were sent in mid-October 2018 by our lawyer. Again, our lawyer has told us we are now just waiting on the appointment. Is this accurate or is there another step before that?
Currently waiting for appointment in Ciudad Juarez. I am aware of the major delays with Juarez right now. Any insight on this process would be helpful!!
