And just to confirm, he will be able to enter and leave how many times he want with the stamp?

If he comes and needs to leave before the green card arrives in the mail, is he able to do so? or doe she need his greencard in hand. We have our bigger wedding reception in December overseas so he will need to be able to return for that. Also is he suppose to receive a stamp on his passport that says he is able to travel back and forth? Or does he get that when he enters the US? I am confused by the whole process. @Crazy Cat

My husband received his visa, however he may not be able to enter before the expiration date. Is there a way we can extend it?

You can always submit a K3 now. It may not help but it wont hurt.

Thank you!

CEAC case status says issued and all he has to do is pick up his passport. But I am asking about the green card. My understanding is that the green card will be sent in America

So my husband CR1 application was approved. My understanding is that his green card will be sent to our address in America. I recently moved and sent an address change request to USCIS, however they responded and said that they weren't in charge and NVC was. I tried changing the address in the NVC portal but they wont let me make any changes. So who exactly should I contact and notify about the address change? who is in charge of sending the green card. I gave the new address to my husband to let them know at his interview, but they never asked about it so he forgot to mention it.

I dont know if the K1 process is different. But my husband and I received our interview letter about week and half after we submitted all of the required documents to NVC.

I just wanted to provide an update for any future people who come into this thread. My husband received approval after his interview. The military service was not brought up at all.

Kit al kitab means you are halal to each other and married 😕 I dont know how they do it in Amman but usually the imam will submit the documents later if it isnt submitted by the couple. even then, if you get to the interview and they find out you did the kit al kitab its all over.

I think its always worth a try. My husband and I had an active I-129F from when we were engaged that they never closed. They got to that one, and saw our I-130 and approved it (took us a about 3.5 months to receive approval from original submission of I-130 and now we are waiting for an interview date). It would be different for you guys because you'd have to file a K3 instead of the K1 that we filed a year before we got married. But I still think it is worth a try. They did send us a letter in the mail saying that they declined our K1 but approved our I-130 instead. So I do know for a fact that our previous I-129F expedited our case for sure. We were also at Vermont which is known to be one of the slowest. Also about the receipt you can't trust it. Or receipt said Potomac and when I did Emma we found out it was Vermont. I asked them if it was transferred and they said it was never. Apparently the receipt is just sent out randomly and the service center is not always correct. To confirm I had to use a live agent but it was really quick with Emma. I found out in like 5 minutes.

thank you! I will give it some time then. The documents were there I-864 form and the us citizenship.

Yes fee is paid and the DS-260 is completed. And I was trying to submit under the financial aid section under the sponsor name. but it would not let me oh okay thank you, how long does that usually take and what is that process? do the call the joint sponsor?

So I consider myself very very lucky. I switched from K-1 to Cr-1 after waiting an entire 12 months. My CR-1 was approved four months after the switch and we are currently at NVC. We got really lucky in the sense that they never closed our K1 application and so when they naturally got to process our old K1 visa, they saw that we had an active Cr-1 visa. They denied the K1 and approved the CR-1 same day (they sent a letter saying that was the reason for the denial, and that the approved the CR-1 instead....so I know that the old active K1 visa played a huge part in how things got approved so fast for our CR-1). My husband and I both took the risk willing to wait another two years to hear back for the CR-1 just because of how much benefits it provide (we only did K-1 at first because of border closures). So we were pleasantly surprised when we heard back a lot sooner.
