I have been waiting since 2019, yes 5 years for my wife. 1st with a fiance visa, then when things were stalled during the pandemic i did the CR1/IR1. 5 years without my wife waiting on immigration. Being a combat war veteran doesn't get any consideration either. We are all in the same boat. But the fact that i have been waiting for 5 years since 2019 has made my wait time beyond comprehension.
