Hi Vj Members, Thank you very much for the support here and helping. Alhamdulillah I got my CR1 visa today. It was a super busy day. I got a call today at 10 am from US embassy saying that your visa is ready and if you can fly before July 2nd (as my medical will expire on July 2nd). I asked him to give me 1/2 hours to discuss this with my family and cutting the long story short I confirmed him that lets do it and I will fly before 2nd July. I got a call again from same person around 4:15 pm to collect it from  American Express Office. Alhamdulliah I collected my passport at 5  pm from the American express office.
 
InshAllah I am flying with my wife on July 1st and will reach there on July 1st
 
Here are few important dates:
Filed my case in Feb, 2018
Got interviewed in Jan, 2019
 There were few updates after the interview but everytime it was on AP.
 
I wish you all the best in your journey and hopefully everyone will be with their spouse soon.

You have passed the Consulate so are now into necessary background checks, as part of that they ask for more information to assist the process.
 
How long it takes varies, impossible to say.
 

Yes. At the interview the CO told us he didn't need anything else from us and that they will call us once the Visa is ready. But after three days of our interview we got an email for the DS5535 form. We submitted it the same day and ever since then no updates at all. They keep playing games with everyones feels

i don't see that as being a problem. 

We also filed in February 2017...  It is incredibly difficult.  I admire your good spirits.  Sometimes we are full of faith sometimes we are utterly depressed...depends on the day.   
 
How many updates have you had?  Did you involve the senators or local congressman?  
 
We were getting lots of updates but the last two months have only updated because of an inquiry from us or our Senator.
 
 It will be a year this May since I took Shahada in Dubai during Ramadan.  I was hopeful my husband would be home with me this Ramadan.   I know InshallaAllah it will all work out in the end but in the now it sucks!

I feel for you.   You get to the interview with high hopes only to find out you are not thrown in a black hole.  No-one knows how long, what they are doing and why you are there.  It's truly depressing...those who have never been in this situation have no clue.
 
There are days my husband and I don't get out of bed.   We are both athletic but my husband hasn't been to the gym since his second interview in October.  I have been exercising much less.  We've both gained weight.  We cry a lot..we pray more...sometimes we even ask why are we praying.   Allah brought us through so much after our case was returned we were so excited for that second interview this truly broke our spirt.  My mind is so off somedays.. I feel like I can't even articulate properly..it sucks!
 
You'll have good days and bad days try to do your best to keep yourself busy.  One day it will all be over and this will just a be a memory...a bad one but a memory none the less.
 

It takes a few days sometimes 3-7.  If they do not email you after a week send another.
