Thank you for the video. My husband and I are in a similar situation, eagerly awaiting news from the NVC. USCIS can be a lengthy process, but once your case is approved, the NVC typically moves quickly-often within a week. Our case was approved in March 2024, and now we're waiting for my husband's interview. It's incredibly challenging to be apart from the ones you love. Patience, embracing the journey, and maintaining strong communication with your partner are essential. We do video calls at least three times a day, among other things. I recently visited my husband, and we both teared up when it was time to say goodbye. My lawyer mentioned that we could receive an interview letter between 3-6 months after the NVC approves our case. We received the approval letter, but no interview letter yet. Next month will mark the six-month waiting period, so we'll see. However, I've heard they're currently behind schedule, taking more than a year after the case is approved. Have you heard anything about this? I'd love to know if you've received any news from the NVC about your interview. Regards!

Congratulations. I'm in the same position. I'm U.S. born citizen petitioning/filing for my husband, who is currently in Nigeria. My husband and i did our traditional marriage and court wedding in Nigeria 2021/2022. I found out i was already pregnant with his child in late March of 2022. I started filing for him on March 27, 2022. It was a waiting game. By September of 2022 i have given birth to his daughter. It was around October 2022 that i have received an update from USCIS stating they are reviewing my case. In April of 2023, they approved my petition however, the USCIS was holding on to my petition because i did not indicate where my husband is going to apply for his visa (my fault). So i had to apply for an I824 requesting USCIS to send my petition to the NVC. That was in April of 2023. It took them almost 14 months to send my petition to the NVC. On June 7th 2024, they forwarded my petition to the NVC to start visa process for my husband.

Will you get approved if your husband wasn’t present at his own marriage???

So I’ve heard some people who get married over the internet but it has to be at an approved court house. Is this your situation?

First and foremost, congratulations to you and your husband. May God foster His everlasting love and grace upon your home in Jesus Christ Name Amen. I want to ask, pls what and what documents are you required to submit after your case in USCIS is approved? Apart from the police report? Im talking about what you submitted online for the next stage NVC? Thanks and God bless

Were you a CR1 first then after the two years of marriage automatically transitioned to IR1? That part id like to know how that works , thank you Going threw the same process
@elegoldb8 ай бұрын
Yes CR1 means married under 2 years and IR1 means married over 2 years. The switch from CR1 to IR1 is automatic
