Mr&Mrs Chowdhury

Hello. Sir have you received interview call yet ? My dq 1st july 2020. Please let me know whenever you get interview call.

I’m waiting for an interview as well for my wife. I was dq on June 18,2020. I have seem people who were before me get interviews, but I haven’t seen anyone posting about them doing interviews since March. I do not know if they stopped because of COVID. If anyone has an update, please post.

NVC will schedule the interview once you are at the front of the queue.  This is the process:
 
1. Case is DQ'd by NVC.
2. Case then enters NVC queue for your consulate and waits at NVC.
3. Consulate informs NVC of available interview date for upcoming month.
4. NVC schedules interview when case reaches the front of the queue for that consulate.
5. NVC notifies person of interview date via email.
6. NVC then sends case to consulate.
After the interview is scheduled, it can take several days to several weeks for the consulate to receive the case.

CR-1 Visa Approved!  Zoom Ceremony.
 
My husband and I married through Utah Online marriage ceremony in September 2020. I visited him in Costa Rica in October 2020 and filed for the CR-1. Our I-130 was approved January 29, 2021. We were DQ in the NVC on February 16, 2021 and received our interview date on February 24th.
 
My husband passed his interview this morning and now we await his passport and POE in the coming weeks.

The backlog is much more at the embassies, not NVC, which has continued processing applications to DQ. NVC can only schedule appointments into slots that the embassy makes available. So that will very much depend on the status of the embassy you will be interviewing at.

DQ May 21st, 2020 and Interview date is 15th March, 2021 as well Alhamdulillah.

Embassy taking interviews for people dqed in may 2020. So you'll have to wait for the turn

I know it is pretty said that the cases are taking longer than expected. I found one thing that might help you is that you asked them kindly review your case to expedite. I requested last week and I was approved today. They notified that your case being actively review your case" and within 24 hrs I got the approval. You can give it a try. All the very best!!

Great  news everyone!! Woke up this morning to our petition being approved

it may be quite a bit faster for IR1/CR1 currently due to the proclamations, as many other  applications are put on the back burner.

When Joe Biden takes office in January, he has pledged to reverse many of Trump's  controversial immigration policies from the last 4 years.  Here are a few key items that Joe Biden plans to change:
 
Merit-based/Family-based Immigration and Diversity Visa
 
Biden disagrees with Trump's position of creating a merit-based family immigration system.  Biden would instead "expand" family based immigration to the US.  He would allow any approved family visa beneficiary, whose green card is not yet available due to the annual country cap, to receive a temporary visa and enter the U.S. until a permanent visa (“green card”) becomes available.
 
In addition, Biden would support legislation that: 
 
Expands the definition of “immediate relative” beyond spouses; minor, unmarried children; and parents of U.S. citizens to add spouses and children of green card holders, exempting them from caps; and  Allows parents to bring their minor children with them at the time they immigrate into the U.S.  
Biden would also continue the Diversity Visa program, stating it brings needed diversity.
 
"Dreamers" and Pathways to Citizenship
 
Biden believes that Dreamers and their parents should have a roadmap to citizenship through legislative immigration reform. When he enters office he  will remove the uncertainty for Dreamers by reinstating the DACA program, and he will explore all legal options to protect their families from inhumane separation.
 
Public Charge
 
Biden would reverse Trump’s public charge rule. He believes the rule runs counter to American values and the history of the nation.
 
Reversing Travel Bans
 
On Day One of his presidency, Biden intends to rescind Trump’s travel bans on travelers from 13 countries, most of them either majority-Muslim or African nations.
 
Skilled Workers
 
Biden supports reform of the H1-B system including increased alignment to the current workforce.  Once reform is complete, he plans to expands the number of high-skilled visas.
 
Refugees
 
Biden supports raising the annual allotment of refugee admissions to 125 thousand from around 15 thousand under President Trump.
 
Mexico Border Wall
 
Biden plans to immediately stop diversion of US Defense funds for the border wall, effectively stopping its expansion.  Trump will immediately prioritize reunification of "lost" children from asylum camps with their parents.

I have filed mine on May 26th, 2020. Now, waiting for next step....
Lets hope all of us gets speedy good result!

I did not see a thread for February 2020 filers so I started this one, unless someone has found one already? We are doing one last look on all of our documents and then we are submitting our I-130 via the online form tomorrow!! Then the countdown begins...

Both process  we take about the time. It depends on your service center and also if you get an RFE or not
