Thank you! Thank you!

Hello My wife successfully completed her interview at US Consulate in Jerusalem on July 11th. We are planning for her to come to USA permanently in late September, which is after our 2 year marriage mark (Sept 8 is anniversary). Will she be automatically given IR1 since the day she enters US (become Perm Resident) will be past our 2 year anniversary? Wasn't sure how this is handled or if it needs to be brought to someone's attention upon entry. Would like to avoid the whole CR1 and I751 removal of conditions process. Thank you!

DQ on 6 of March and had not yet received IL. We decided to transfer our case to Jerusalem this past Friday to avoid the Schengen visa issues and logistical challenges with travel planning. Was notified this morning that our case was transferred and a new case number assigned. Wife has been living in Turkey this past year...so travel to Israel is very easy. Someone stated in another post that IL is typically received within 45 days in Jerusalem and interview dates 4 weeks out from there.

Hi @Gal2957...I just requested transfer of our case to Jerusalem from Warsaw (on 7 April 2023) Curious about the medical exam scheduling. How long before interview did you complete medical exam? Can it be done same week as interview? How long for them to process Visa after completing interview?. Just trying to get a sense of amount of time I need to plan for in Israel.. Thank you!

Hello....I'm considering transferring our case to Jerusalem from Warsaw. In the email back from the US Embassy they stated that they do not expedite cases and will not forward case to other embassies once transferred to them....so before confirming the transfer I was hoping someone can you tell me how long the wait was for confirmed interview? . Also, I heard the medical exam can take 2 weeks for the information to be shared to the embassy...is this true? Trying to figure out how long I might need to stay in Israel with my wife. Thank you!
