Travelling to other countries while CR1 application is processing in NVC

[thanatos_guild 0]

My case (CR1) is currently at the NVC stage and we have submitted all our documents. Based on the NVC case review timeline, our case/documents are few weeks away from being reviewed. 

My wedding anniversary is coming up in a month and I was hoping to travel to another country for a short trip with my spouse. My question is, if my spouse and I travel together to another country (NOT USA), will my spouse face any scrutiny during the interview or visa process. We obviously want to do what's best, and the last thing we want is to potentially cause any issue by travelling to other countries.

I don't think a short vacation to another country would cause any issues unless it was to one of the highly scrutinized countries such as Iran, North Korea, etc.  Even travel to one of those countries on the list that negate VWP would not preclude a CR1 visa approval, but there may be further scrutiny/questions.

 

Good Luck!

what country is spouse from?

what country do u intend to visit?

if spouse travels extensively a  CO could want a ds5535 if the countries visited are listed as high security risks

but just for a one year anniversary ,  i would say probably not 

as I said above depends  on embassy and all travel history
