Update: my husband went for his CR1 interview on February 20, 2018 and was placed on administrative processing as they required some more information (dm me if you want me to be specific). The second interview to submit the information was on April 3, 2018 and he was approved.  He picked up his passport on April 10, 2018 and arrived in the USA on April 14. Upon arrival he was detained for 4 hour as they verified the same issue that placed him on administrative processing and eventually let him go after they we able to verify everything. I guess its not over until its over - I guess the entry point has final say even with an immigrant visa.
 
Its been quiet the journey as we had gone through a successful K1 visa journey but in the middle of waiting for his green card application to be approved he had to go back to his country to attend to some family issue and so I had to repetition for spousal immigrant visa CR1. I am so pleased that it was approved and now he is back home and no more stressing. I did everything on my own without a lawyer but I could not have survived the process without you guys' support so thank you.
 
I wish everyone the best in your journey.  Stay strong, don't give up and don't listen to anyone who tries to discourage (I had some people telling me that the CR1 would not be approved). Every case, story or journey is different but believe in your story, love and goal and you will be successful no matter the obstacles or speed bumps may come your way. This process amongst other things teaches you patience and that I have learnt from all the waiting and not having any control whatsoever.
 
God Bless!

Hey guys its official!! So Saturday I told you guys that I checked our status (I'm the petitioner) and we have a "at NVC".  I also said I would wait to jump up and down until I call this morning to confirm.  Well, I just called NVC and they confirmed the status and told me that we got a CC on January 13 which is amazing to me because its exactly 4 weeks from SD of December 12. So I am now jumping up and down :-).  I am also amazed because there was Christmas and New Year and I was so sure that the cc will come end of January or February (you never know with this process). God is so good all the time.  I am a step closer to reconnecting with my hubby and it feels good. 
 
Every stage is so darn nerve racking and now that we are waiting for interview we or should say I am even more nervous even though I am the petitioner lol. I don't know what it is with the immigration process (I am a naturalized citizen), its always quite the emotional roller coaster for everyone involved. Funny when I became a citizen back in 2010 I vowed I would not step in the immigration offices or go through the process ever again but the love of my life came along and it was a no brainer. The things we do for love :-).  One thing I have learned is - do not ever give up on your loved one or yourself and don't let the process get the best of you. Trust your gut feeling.  I don't know how many times I was told my case/s was too difficult and this or the other cant be done, but I kept going and did everything on my own and trusted me and the process. I will always be so indebted to visa journey family for always being there for me through my journey (started 2004 and ended 2010) and my husband's journey. You guys are so awesome. 
 
That being said, I wish everyone all the best throughout your journey and hope you are reunited with your loved ones very soon.
