Hey all
I am so happy i found this thread as it was the exact question I wanted ask. I will try give the rundown
I am the USC
Husband is Macedonian (Not a VW country and apparently known for people who overstay regularly)
We were married here Nov 10 '16
I-130 was accepted on Dec 16th.
We live together in Macedonia
He has been to the US before on work visas working for cruise ships (his last visa ran out last august)
He is a chef and I teach ESL online
We are hoping to make a trip back to Oregon in September so he can meet my parents, possibly have a small garden wedding (as we have not had one yet), and since my dad needs to make a trip we can stay with my mom (she has MS). We are thinking about 1 month.
Ties to Maceodnia: We just bought health insurance here for a year, he is the main chef at a restaurant, we have a house we are in the process of building, we own a car, we live in his Mom's house and she can vouch for that (she had to do that for me to get a resident card), I have a resident card allowing me to live here for 1yr., we will have return tickets.
What do you think our chances will be, any suggestions, extra information we need etc....
