Thanks, I didn't realize that they take her passport away at the interview. I guess we need a new plan

We got married almost a year ago and were just notified of an interview on 11/27 for CR1. We have been putting off a honeymoon to save money and to avoid the possibility of scheduling a trip and then receiving notice that the interview would fall in the same time. We are now considering an international trip (not the USA or my wife's country ), where she would travel on her native Passport, during the weeks after the interview for a couple reasons:

1. assuming she gets approved immediately, she will becoming to the USA during a time (December) when no one hires and she will be sitting at home all day. When she is hired, most companies have a policy that you can't take vacation for several months, further delaying a trip.

2. If there is some delay in actually being approved or receiving the green card, we can be spending this time together instead of more agonizing waiting separate from eachother

3. When we return from the trip through turkey, we can travel back to the USA together

Our concern, is that if she is approved that she may have to be at home to sign for the green card shipment. Does the individual have to sign when the temp green card comes in the mail? Are there any other foreseen issues that may arise with us taking a trip the week after her interview?

Thanks for you thoughts

OCTOBER Case Closed:

So sorry to hear of this. When was your case closed with NVC?

July 9th, and I believe there are 3 people whom I know of from visa journey who are up to 2 weeks ahead of me

Its been 11 weeks since my NVC complete date, and I missed scheduling for the month of October.

We have been waiting over 10 weeks for Ankara. Embassy page for interview dates has not been updated since 9/10

My wife has a valid tourist visa. Is there any reason why she cant visit me in the USA while we are waiting in line for our interview date (IR1)?

I was finalized on july 9th, and we are growing very impatient. I think this is the most ridiculous part of the entire process. The notion of waiting in a line for an appointment seems strange since appointments are suppose to circumvent waiting in line.

I had the same question. Thanks this is helpful. Is there any reason that the NVC would not accept the documents translated by the beneficiary? (I am in the IV stage)

Thanks for the clarification, I am in the same stage of the process. I am surprised that you have to submit originals of the marriage and birth certificates.
