Hi guys, Has anyone been able to file a i-601 prior to the interview using consular processing? Does it always have to be after the interview? I'm just wondering if we can get ahead of this knowing we are requesting a waiver for vaccination due to religious beliefs.

Thank you for your replies. It just seems odd to me that there is a Visa specifically for a foreign spouse which allows them to stay in the country and get married within 90 days and there is no option for a married citizen to come to the USA with the foreign spouse and file concurrently in the US. It just seems like wasted time to wait two years abroad when you are guarenteed a greencard through marriage with a citizen.

Hi guys, Me and my wife are currently residing in Canada and got married here. I am an American citizen and am sponsoring my wife through marriage and the i-130 to come back to the US. We desire very much to start our lives in the united states while we wait for this process. We have no kids. Initially we thought our only option was through consular processing here but now we are left wondering if there was any other better way to move to the US now by using a visa while we wait for the immigration process to finalize. Appreciate any insight! Thank you!
