Actually ur green card will show that either its for two years or for ten years.. If u got ur GC after two years of marriage then yes u will get ten years of GC in IR1.

 No one can assume the processing speed but in my experience they take the same time..

Green card holder wait for the visa # to be available and US citizen do not wait

Might be a misunderstanding im saying when my wife had her interview our visa was cr1 its been more then 7 months in ap which i have no idea on why its in ap even tho we have a 11 month old daughter. So when the visa turns into ir1 will the process of her getting the visa be quick? That my question... sorry for not clarifying

no problem may be i read it from different triangle. doesn't matter if its CR1 or IR, AP process is the same and once everything is clear under AP then officer will issue the visa to her. changing visa category will not speed up AP process. good luck buddy

what is K1 visa category for? i'm so sad to hear about it   and this makes me horrified to cores. how your visa interview went and what was their final words before they told you to all done ma'am. also have they provided some reasons or letter stating what are the underlying reasons for denial, i mean there must be something in written by officer

by the way your K1 visa was non immigrant category, so have they permanently denied you on any grounds, or conditionally denied, or you can re apply after some time? need much clarity

hello seniors / senoritas,

 

just to keep everyone posted, on their toes and this tread alive, today i'm going to share something that might help in longer run to analyze past trend for issuance of visa by consular office in view of each category. so please familiarize with abbreviations of each category to understand monthly trends and one of the category might be associated with yours too. The most important section is "Family-Sponsored Preferences" under that each preferences are clearly defined.
