Rating:  | Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa
My husband had his interview today and was approved ! He arrived into Kingston @ about 5:30am and went in between 7-8am, although his appointment was not until 9am. He said all went smoothly and the officer was nice and friendly. He has to go back in about 2 weeks to get his Visa , but he is scheduled to pick up in Mo-Bay. All in All, this process took 13 months from Start to finish. WE could have probably done it within 10-11 months, possibly 9, but my husband is a procrastinator and when I told him months ago to get certain paperwork, as usual, he operates on his own time... :/ lol ...but I guess everything happens in it's own time according to the purpose and plan God has , and it worked out.
A few tips:
Start getting all necessary shots and records once as soon as you get your case #. Reason being, some shots have to be provided a week or so between each other, and if you need to get records from the MD office, then you will have time. Otherwise, you can just get all the shots you need.
Get your police certificate no more than 6 months early or else you will need a new one. It comes back within 2-4 weeks, citing there is nothing bad that way you can send all paperwork in at once.
Get EXTRA copies of your marriage licenses and birth certificates, ORIGINAL copies. You may have to submit full packets more than once and you have to send in ORIGINALS + COPIES of everything so prepare early.
Stay organized as it will help to keep everything in order. There are plenty of checklists on the NVC / USCIS website so make sure to use them !!!
Have PATIENCE !!! My patience is gone at this point because we argue over paperwork and procrastination but it's all done lol just awaiting his visa 
I have a teenaged stepdaughter that wants to join so I told him when he gets here he will be responsible for her process, my stress level can't take this again anytime soon lol .
If you have any questions or need advice...let me know !
