When does us embassy mumbai reopen and schedule interviews

I emailed the U.S. embassy in Nigeria and received this generic response (attached below). 😩 The only thing we can do now is wait, as well as be proactive in the waiting game and make sure we are fully prepared when they reopen! Best regards!

Situation looks hopeful with news of some embassies opening up. Still nothing official on any of the websites though right?

Proof that k1s are not subject to the president's proclamation on banning certain immigrant visas?

What’s the difference between CR1 and IR1?

If I understand right.

 

CR1 stands for Conditional Resident whose been married less than 2 years and after the 2 year mark in marriage you'll have to apply for the conditions on the green card removed and IR1 stands for Immediate Relative for people whose been married longer than 2 years those green cards are valid for 10 years and have no conditions.

Yes, and what?))) Now we are all don’t have green cards. We will get it after reach US. I think CR1/IR1 Visas very close. And many people with CR1 from France got scheduled their interviews already. All spouses are immediate relatives, not only who married more than 2 years.

They would be the same classification as far as interviews are concerned. The difference is that the IR1 does not require you to file for removal of conditions later on.

For me the good news is that we won’t have to file for CR1 conditions to be lifted. We will go direct to IR1. 

My wife and I were gonna be CR1 at the time of our interview but in the time since the cancellation, we passed our two year anniversary.

 

Time sure flies, except when you’re waiting on a visa interview.

Yes, I know difference, you are right. But topic was about visas.

The travel ban US-Canada has been extended to July 21. After that, I would assume that the consulates in Canada are going to reopen if not before. By then hopefully Service Canada will have resumed as well to get passports... waiting to get a passport for my newborn daughter. You can travel to Europe from Canada starting July 23rd with Air Transat so it sounds like Canada will be business as usual end of July.
