here are the questions that them guy at the consulate ask me wife

-show us evidence of relationship between you and your husband

-how did you met him?

-what your husband do for a living? when did he begin to work there?what he doing before that?

-describe the city that your husband live in

we front load a lot of evidents and really took our time in building up our case, and we work really hard to address our redflags. originally we was gona do a k1 case, yet after talking to immigration lawyers and found vj we switch tactic and change our visa case to cr1 , it paid off.my wife will pick up her visa in 7days and she will be here in 1 month. the whole interview last about 5 minutes,those interviews that last more than 5 minutes are not good at all .

Congrats!!! There isn't much more to do when she arrives in US. When she makes it to a POE, an CBP officer will do some paperwork him or herself and ask her for a signature and finger print (right index finger.) Then, you wait and wait. He will ask questions like "how long ago have you been married" to see if you are qualified for IR-1 instead of CR-1. If your address has changed, make sure to have your wife tell him that she would like to make change of address; this is very important since that would be the address to where the green card will be shipped. He might ask some questions like do you have a job yet? do you know you need to petition to remove the condition? he will explain that the visa with an entry stamp is now a temporary I-551 and she can work and travel back and forth to US with it for one year and blah blah blah. To make a long story short, allow somewhere between one hour to two hours for this process - for example, when I arrived, we only had three new PRs, and it took us an 1 1/2 hour to be done.

Once she makes it thru that, all you have to do is just to wait for her green card and social security card to arrive. Once she gets a SSN, she can work and apply for a DL and all that. If you don't want to wait, you can always go knock on SSA. If she already has a SSN, you will have to visit SSA and ask for a corrected social security card with an updated status.

Are you still enjoying your hangover? :)
