Hi all,
I needed suggestions regarding my on-going CR1 visa case.
Details about the case:
Priority date - 15th September 2022
NVC DQ date - 25th September 2023
As per the above dates, we are expecting an interview from Mumbai Embassy around Feb 2024. I have a travel history in US and wanted to ask if anyone has been through a similar situation.
I live in India and I had US tourist visa so sometime after our marriage, I decided to visit my husband in US (who is a US citizen). I stayed for 6 months (Jan 2023 - Jun 2023). After our case got DQed by NVC, the expected interview was too late as the estimated time was 4-5 months at the least. I did not want to stay away from my husband for that long so I again visited US in late Oct 2023. The immigration officer did give me an entry, but warned me to not use tourist visa casually next time and that I should return back to India after the holidays and not stay for 6 months again.
My question is, will this travel history affect my interview at Mumbai for CR1 visa? I understand I have used my tourist visa frequently but I hope that just proves that I wanted to spend time with my husband. I am planning on returning back in Jan 3rd week (or earlier if I get any update about IL till then).
Did anybody over here go through a similar situation (travel to spouse after being DQed by NVC?) If so, what was the interview experience, are any additional proofs required? Any help/suggestion is most welcome.
Thank you
