My husband and I have been married since March 2018 and have embarked on this extremely long (and tedious) immigration journey ever since! We have experienced many ups and downs throughout this entire process, but we're finally close to the finish line! Here's some background on our journey thus far:
I filed the I-130 for my husband (who resides in Canada) in May 2018 and was sent along to be processed at the Texas Service Center. We did not get any RFEs. Our petition was approved in January 2019 and sent over to NVC. NVC received our case in March 2019, but had found something incorrect with the file so sent it back to the USCIS for further review. Unfortunately, there was a clerical error from USCIS that caused a huge delay in our case (we were just the unfortunate 1% that this happened to). USCIS took 6 months to review and fix the clerical error and sent it back to NVC on September 2019. NVC received the case and sent us our case number (finally) in November 2019.
My husband and I collected all our documents, paid fees, and submitted everything over to NVC by December 2019. We were DQ'ed on February 2020 and now await his interview date in Montreal, Canada.
It's been a long, tiring, and emotional journey these past few years, but it'll all be worth it at the end when we're finally living our lives together! :)
