Hello. Was there any updates on this? A friend of mine with Ir1/cr1 case sent an embassy change request directly to the embassy she wanted to have the interview. They didn’t accept (not because of workload, since the embassy has no backlogs) and had responded that citizens of this certain country need to get appointments from certain embassies, which was mentioned in the official website. Might it be that they’re not aware of this new update? Would sending another request with a link to this help? https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/visas-news/update-on-worldwide-visa-operations.html

Congratulations. I'm very glad you got approved.

I see. Thanks a lot. Yeah you're right. I mistook naturalization with citizenship. I didn't know that to become naturalized, the CR must first have an approved removal of conditions. So there's where the hassle comes I guess.

I'm very sorry to ask here and not open a new thread. But since many people commented here for delaying entering and getting a 10 year green card, and that the removal of conditions is a big hassle and can take years, I got confused. Won't the petitioner be able to apply for citizenship after 3 years? So why should they wait years to remove the conditions?

Safe trips. Hope you guys have a good time, and please let us know how things go when you get there. I started reading this forum today and it was very informative. I might be in a similar situation timeline-wise, so it gave me some ideas for my own case.
