The visa bulletin for June states that the F category for India is expected to reach annual limit by July (ahead of September year end dates) so they are probably completing all the F category to close the category for the year. Then they'll be able to focus Aug forward on catching up all CR/IR cases with that task out of the way. They also have to process all student visa before University starts end of August. I suspect that everyone will get flood of IL starting August to get caught up. Let's hope and pray that my instinct is correct ha ha!!! 😁

CR1/IRs interviews are scheduled by the embassy. Most of us have been waiting after DQ since end of April. 

It's going well. We sent email to NVC/USCIS in October 2018 to close our K1 case (didn't wait for a reply but one came 60-days later confirming case closure). We re-filed in Jan 2019 (married Nov 24th in India) and had NOA2 on April 30th. NVC docs uploaded June 15th and waiting for docs to be qualified for appt scheduling.
 
Just to clarify, you very well may receive approval in the coming weeks or a few months time from your AP status. We chose Plan B ONLY after all medical had expired at 6mths and instead of repeating that expense again on K1 we opted to move ahead with marriage and CR1. This way he receives AOS as part of the process and we don't have to go through more fees and adjustment once he's here.
 
I would research other cases from Cuba to see if there is a trend of denials or AP because of political sanctions or others who are receiving approval after AP through that embassy.
 
It's a REALLY hard decision and not easy to redo everything so please I urge you to research and hold until you are comfortable and believe you will not see approval. I hope and pray that you receive quick resolution and do not have to adjust to a Plan B!! 😁

To all whose having interviews this week, I pray you all have quick and easy interviews with extremely lenient consular officers. God's blessing to all...💫🙏🏽

I think we should expect IL for October/November slot based on current pattern (but hopeful for earlier if they start moving faster). We are CC on 7/11 so just ahead of you in line.

Category is expected to reach maximum annual limit for India in July (per June visa bulletin) before the end of the fiscal year in September. That means that they can shift focus to clear the backlogged CR/IR interviews with IL starting August...

Oh brother.
 
F2a have been waiting for over 2 years for their turn to interview.  

What are these people taking from you?  NOTHING.  

Just because they are getting interviews, it doesn't mean it's coming at the expense of a US citizen.

Get over your sense of entitlement.   Get over your sense of us vs them.  After all, your spouse is one of them foreigners waiting to immigrate to the US.  

@dwheels76 I've added myself to yhe spreadsheet but it doesn't show my info. Thnx
 
Recieved interview letter for hubby at 1am.
 
Priority date: 7.26.18
CC: June 18th
IL: August 27th
Location: Qatar 
 
May yall be showered with his mercy and recieve your ILs asap! Patience and keeping busy is the key friends.

This is a K1 visa and it's ready to schedule for interview. The petitioner is waiting for the packet with instructions from the embassy to pay fees and schedule biometric, medical and interview. Some choose not to process with K1 at all or delay for other reasons (job, family, etc) and they have one year to action. K1 is processed as an immigrant visa because it will be converted following marriage and AOS to immigrant.

Hello, joining everyone on the CR1 Bombay train...
 
DQ: July 11th
 
Did anyone take notice of how long it took NVC from email acceptance to receipt at embassy using the case status tracker?
 
Just curious because I'm going to join the fight!!
 
FYI: we've been through the K1 process and were able to schedule our own appt at the Mumbai VAC within 30-days of our approval back in March 2018. We were just placed in AP forever and abandoned after 8mths waiting (and good thing because they sent us back to USCIS the same week as our wedding)! 😁

Once you get NOA2 it's about 2mth process to get NVC Case# and invoice to pay fees, upload docs and get qualified. Then you can request expedite but they are denying all (even mine which was approved at USCIS stage) and backlogged now 3-4mth on interview at Mumbai.
 
You should have NOA2 any day now and then plan for another six months so try to take temporary work if possible while you go through the process. You can email NVC to request the expedite and show them bank statement, letter from family or friends about living situation, etc and they will review or deny at that point.

@GabLuc Not sure if that was for me but we're expediting at NVC for payment and document upload next two weeks and then once clear we'll be at the mercy of the Mumbai embassy for our final interview date (and bio/medical again). I'll be ecstatic if we can get to the embassy in July personally!! 😉 We shall see how it goes this time around...
