Oh wow, I didn't realize it was taking that amount of time. From my understanding, the approval for a CR-1 Visa was around the 10-12 month mark. Is it just the interview process after the approval that is taking a significant amount of time? But I guess if that's the case, it's probably not worth starting over with the spousal visa instead.

July 2022! God sorry, I keep putting the wrong numbers. So we're about 6 months into the process now for the I-129F. I'm just worried about starting over and potentially adding a significant amount of time to our waiting process. But if it only comes down to a month or two, it'll end up being worth it since I'll be able to travel and work right away.

Sorry, I have not! It's still just the I-129F that we filed in July 21'. I just changed that in my timeline to see if it would give me an estimated approval for an I-130 if we were to get married and file this month.

Hi guys, I know this is a common topic and it's something I've been considering recently, so I guess I just wanted some further insight. My fiancé and I are currently 6 months (July21 filers) into our i-129f, meaning we still have roughly another 10 months to go for our approval (Oct estimated approval). I'm seeing that the wait time for for CR-1 Visa is roughly 10 months right now, so it's been on my mind about switching, so I can avoid the whole AOS. Is the timeline really 10 months right now for a spousal, and are they all processed in California as well? Because when I check the processing times they're all roughly the same at all the service centers, with the exception of Vermont which is 16 months, and I would hate for mine to be sent there and have added even more time.
