Is it possible to drag-out timing between filing I-130 and consular interview for about 1 year and 8 months? If not, what should I do?

I am fulfilling a 2 year home-residence requirement in my home country (after J1 visa) before I can receive a green card. My husband filed I-130 in Oct 2010. I need to schedule an interview for green card in or after July 2012, i.e., after this requirement is fulfilled. I expect to receive an approval of I-130 in April 2011.

Yes, this is possible - at NVC stage you can delay the return of documents to stretch out your time

Yes, simply delay your interactions with the National Visa Center after your I-130 is approved. Your interview will be for an IR1 visa, not a green card. The green card WILL result from you entering the USA using the IR1 visa.

Hey, just wanted to let you know you are not alone. I'm in the same boat right now, waiting for my 2 years to lapse. We are currently holding off sending the I-864 and the IV packet. Another thing got you to keep in mind is that you can't go more than 1 year with no communication with NVC, so you just need to space it out a bit. Hang in there :)

Thanks.

Blake an Jeanie, it is nice to hear that I am not alone here. Will you be able to schedule your interview just right after the 2 year-requirement is over? I just would like to be able to leave as soon as possible after this requirement but I am not sure how easy it is to manipulate with the interview time.

Thanks,

Julia

Hi thanks for this info! 

How long for can you delay the NVC stage? 

As long as you login to your ceac account at least once a year,  you can keep it active theoretically indefinitely 

YMMV
