It seems that way , very sad situation, just another point to keep in mind with dealing with these high fraud country individuals, they will have a child for papers and even leave them as not wanted after they fufill their purpose. Sad sad.
 
OP, you can terminate your rights but keep in mind that child support will still be a responsibility.

The CR1 visa is a single entry visa for initial entry into the US. The CBP endorses that visa to make it a temporary green card valid for one year from US entry date. 

**Moved from General Immigration-Related Discussion to Working & Traveling During US Immigration; topic is travel**

Every relationship is different but I’d like to
believe that common sense and a balance of probabilities would prevail, as I don’t think USCIS routinely denies petitions because one or two things from the ideal list of evidence is missing.
 
Personally, my husband and I have not been able to successfully get pregnant in our 2 years of marriage, so when we submit our i751 petition next month we won’t have birth certificates of any children to submit, but, weighing out our other evidence (jointly filed taxes, shared assets, bank and credit accounts together, etc) I believe we’ll be just fine.  
 
I also believe some couples could show genuine good faith without certain co-mingled finances, albeit, it would be more difficult (bc having joint accounts is
just easier) and likely raise a flag for further review/evidence.  A marriage of
good faith is blending your lives together, so the veracity of it isn’t negated just because you have separate bank accounts because there is so much more to a shared life than money.  This is the importance of interviews or even a home visit - because life is so much more than what’s on paper.

My visa has been issued and my passport is ready to be collected..on the same day!!!! Thank you so much to everyone here for their support. And i wish everyone a very speedy process whether you're waiting for CC, interview date or to get issued. It has been  1 year and 25 days since we petitioned for CR-1 visa. All thanks to GOD for finally putting this long stressful yet anticipating exciting journey to an end. 

Had my doctor appointment yesterday. At first they thought they might need to cancel it because my surname in database and my surname in passport did not match (I registered my marriage in Estonia just a day before, so I don't have renewed passport yet) but to my knowledge it should not be a problem, so I assured them in that. Hopefully it won't be a problem. I ended up getting two vaccines that had expired but other than that it was kind of smooth and nice process. Will be waiting for the results now.
 
Also, one question to others. To my surprise the gynecologist's "general check and proof of good health" was needed. I wonder, if I would have been a guy, would I then had to visit andrologist (the men's doctor)? If there are any male beneficiaries, if you don't mind 😃 Honestly, I'm just curious

Congrats!!!!!

VISA APPROVED. all Glory and honour be to God almghty.

Hi Montreal peeps, 
 
I went for my interview this morning and was approved. Your interview time does matter, if you show up too early and they are waiting on other interviewees with times before you, you will have to wait. 
 
They give you a number along with a list of items. 
 
I was asked for W2 which wasn't on the list they give you when you enter the embassy but I had it with me. 
 
My medical also had a mistake, the Doctor forgot to include my picture to the reports, however they said they would contact the doctor directly.
 
Questions asked:
how did you meet 
what does your husband do for a living 
how often do you see each other 
where does he live 
where have you travelled internationally in the last five years 
is this your first marriage 
 
Then I took the oath and they said congrats you have been approved. 
 
Good luck to everyone with interviews coming up! 

Congratulations to all who have received their approval of their visa this week already.
Your interview report gives us hope.
Our interview will be this Thursday. Despite the pre-interview nervousness we remain confident that by the grace of God everything will be fine.
Keep us in your prayers for a quick approval.
Thank you in advance for your prayers and wishes.

My husbands visa was APPROVED! Thank you everyone for the prayers! I am BEYOND HAPPY!! 

My husband has his interview tomorrow at 7am! 😩😩😩 I’m so nervous, please pray for us 🙏🙏

Hey Guys my Visa was approved yesterday .  Sharing my experience might help others get an insight about the interview process.
 
My CR1 Interview was scheduled for 7.30 a.m. I reached the embassy at around 6.40 a.m. and was shocked to see such a huge crowd waiting across the street of the Mumbai US Embassy on the footpath.

I went to the guard and inquired when would they start letting people inside, he politely replied “once all the officers are in we will start calling out the interview slot timings and then you can come and form the line in the mean while you have to wait across the street with other”. I could see some nervous faces in the crowd along with some people who were probably overdressed for the occasion but it’s their choice I guess 😊 you decide what’s comfortable for you.

As scheduled the guard started calling out people at 7.05 a.m. only for immigrant Visa starting with first batch of 7.15. As expected everyone rushed to form a line. Then an embassy employee came in asking for documents turns out people with 7.30 and later batches were already standing in the queue so they were asked to go back and wait across the street and come back once their slot is called out (Note for elderly there is no sitting arrangement outside the embassy people have to sit on the footpath in the open).

In the Queue you should have your: 
1. Passport 
2. Interview letter 
3. DS-260 (Stamped and photos attached during your biometrics).
So, keep them Handy. Once all these documents are verified then you go through gate no.1 right at the entrance.

Now comes the security check – you have to put everything with you as well as on you in a tray for scanning it. Hand bags, purses, backpacks are not allowed along with any kind of electronics is strictly prohibited (DO NOT CARRY THE MEDICAL CD WITH YOU). There is no official arrangement for keeping your stuff so make arrangements in advance. You will find people like Taxi drivers asking if you need any lockers but it’s nothing official so you be the judge if you want to leave your precious things with a complete stranger.

Once the Security check is done you walk through the last door in the room and beyond that you see the waiting area 1 which is in the open but there is shade and proper sitting arrangement. You walk right across to the other end where there is an entry gate inside which you will be in waiting area 2, this is the actual place where all the interviews take place.

Once you are in that waiting area there would be embassy employees who would help you arrange all the actual required documents that you need to keep ready (take out the originals if you have kept them in a plastic folder also if you have any language preference other than English they will ask you to be in a separate line): 
1. Passport
2. DS-260 (Stamped and photos attached during your biometrics, reminding again as there were people who did not do their biometrics and had to go back and apply for a later date)
3. Interview Letter
4. Birth Certificate + 1 copy
5. Marriage certificate + 1 copy
6. PCC + 1 copy
7. Sealed medical envelope (please do not carry the medical CD with you to the embassy they would not allow it past the security check)
Now you get a token number and wait until you see your number flashing on the screen in front of you mentioning the counter number where you need to go. There you would be greeted by an Indian officer who will ask you to handover all the documents you have arranged in the step above. Then he will go back to grab your case file which has all the documents that you had sent to the NVC and USCIS at earlier stages. He will go through all the documents again and return some of the documents back to you (mostly petitioner financial documents). Be alert and ready to answer few random question from the officer:
1. Who is calling you?
2. Where is she/he now?
3. How long are you married?
4. Is this your first marriage?
Then he will arrange all the documents properly and hand over your originals back to you. At this stage you can put them back safely in your folder as you won’t need them anymore. You get the token number and now the most antagonizing wait starts for your token to be flashed again for your interview with the CO.

This wait can be really unpredictable. While I was waiting I saw one lady who’s interview was going on for over 30 mins while on the other hand there were some who finished their interviews in barely 15 mins (In my mind I was hoping to be part of the later group 😜 ). Finally, my number flashed on the screen and I walked to the CO. He told me to swear an oath that all the answers would be truthful and no lies.
Then he started reading something on the computer screen and asking me question at the same time:
1. Who is calling you?
2. What does she do?
3. When did you meet her, was it a love marriage or an arrange marriage?
4. What qualities do you like about her? 
5. Where does she stay?
6. Does she stay alone, how many household members including you?
7. What is her Father’s name?
8. When did you get married, did you have a big ceremony, how many guests were invited?
9. What do you do, would you be able to get a job in America, is your current company willing to transfer you there?
At every given point I wanted to present the CO with actual proof to back my answer I was really over-prepared with all the documents I would need, luckily I did not even have to pull out any document from my folder.

The whole interview finished in less than 15 mins (guess my wish did come true). Then the CO mentioned “After your visit of US if any one troubles you!! You have all rights to complain to the police.” Then I hear the magical words which everyone of us would really want to hear ‘I’m approving your Visa” and he handed me a white slip along with the steps to pay the GC fees online.

My experience was really smooth throughout the interview, hope yours is the same and my (small 😜) portrayal of my experience helps others who are away from their loved ones until they get their Visa. All the best to everyone.💐💐

Husband had his interview in Dublin today, approved!!! But of course there was a mistake on the medical (no expiration date) even though we triple reminded them and already had Mater hospital fix another mistake they made on the medical---just a warning to others, Mater seems sloppy (yes, they're very busy), but even the consular officer told my husband "yes, they seem to leave the date off a lot." Apparently the embassy will sort this with the hospital and it should only take a day to fix... So we've to wait these final 15 business days. Just ready to be *done*
 
Husband was second one in the embassy, first one interviewed (8am appt.). He was out of the embassy by 8:30! Said the officer was a very nice lady, asked only basic questions about how we met, my employment, our time together. He said she looked at our pictures but not much else. She seemed very confused by a few things on my husband's case, but apparently nothing critical, as he got the approval sheet!! We both hardly slept the night before and are so relieved now.
 
Best of luck to all of you waiting for CC and interview. I know the feeling, like the process will never end, but your time will come!

Happy New month everyone!!

😁 That’s how it is here oh.  Your SSN will come in a week and your Permanent resident card in a month.  Once you get both then you can take the driving permit exam.  
 
In the main time you can be reading for the Drivers permit exam, so you can get familiar with the road signs and our driving laws.  Ask you wife to get the permit book from the DMV office.  At least that will keep you busy.  
 
Also you can be able to work once you receive your SS card.  When you apply for a job, just take your passport and the ss card.
