"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Note:

Please fill out I-130, wait 6 months for approval, then 3 more months for an interview. (Unless of course we've bombed your country into the stone age, then you qualify for expedited processing.)

I'll try them on Monday. I'm pretty confident I'll get January. I know NVC schedules the CR-1/IR-1, so the K visas get whatever is left for the embassy to schedule.
