  1. Two visits prior to marriage, about a month and a half total in 2018 and 2019. They had the covid lockdown from 2020 until 2022 when Cambodia reopened to tourists. Marriage visit was an entire month in 2022, went when Covid was still affecting everything, and quarantines were still commonplace. But we wanted to get married and decided it was worth the risk, 2023 I should have visited but I was saving my vacation for the interview which we thought would be before year end since we got DQ in Nov 2023. Total time around 3 months to date and I'll be there for another month, leaving next week. Besides staying together during this entire process we've dealt with, it's the personal things that show me her love is real and to me those are irreplaceable. She could of left anytime after the first or second denial, the lockdown period when we didn't know what would happen or when the world would essentially reopen. But we stayed together strong the entire time. If that's what you're asking about in a way.
  2. Thanks. Was fine most of the time after submitting, now that we're just a few weeks away from a decision, the stress and self questioning if we have enough, has been eating at me. I personally think it's just worse with the two previous K1 denials, so I'm stuck with that doubt of is anything enough? Crossing fingers the nearly decade long fight to be together is over. 🤞
  3. As some are aware from past posts over the years, my now wife and I have had 2 K1s denied at embassy level and are now a short time away from her IR1 interview. One K1 was focusing on her family here with a generic 221g and the second was me being told by email from the embassy she did not show adequate intent to marry in the U.S. Questions are basically for brevity and peace of mind, since I'm leaving in a week to go over and be there during the interview period, I know I can't go inside, but she'll have my passport. What if any, of the previous K1 denial factors can be used as a basis of judgment on the IR1? IR1 as we have passed two years of marriage when she will enter the U.S. They focused on her sister/aunt her in the first denial, since we are doing a spousal immediate relative Visa, this should no longer have any bearing correct? And the second was not believing intent to marry, which we overcame through a marriage in her country. I guess I'm just asking since we've been fighting this process since 2018 as my mind always feels like we never have enough to show them our legitimacy. 401k beneficiary Life insurance beneficiary Joint credit card she uses Letters from employer about adding to health insurance on her arrival Less impact but have none the less Notarized letters from my family stating awareness of our marriage/relationship Proof of visits and consistent daily video communication I'm not sure honestly what else can be done to show we are legitimate of the worst happens. But I have come to terms of knowing I will give up U.S citizenship if I have to, to be with her and start our family.
  4. Thanks, I'll update once it's over. Crossing our fingers for a good outcome this time. There has not been any new Phnom Penh embassy reviews for a long time. Are you part of any other socialgroups, facebook groups etc? My wife is in one on facebook, but they all message in Khmer so I can only understand small pieces until she translates for me. But they give good information there too. Since it's Cambodia specific.
  5. I talked to my employer, they gave me a signed letter from HR that she will be added upon arrival, because ours usually only allows changes due to life change events, like a marriage. But she is not here in the U.S yet, so I sent a letter along with my I130 that states she will be added when she arrives here.
  6. Do you have all your paperwork ready to go? I won't be able to go inside with my wife but I'm giving her my passport to bring in to show I'm in the country. Have a good amount of proof so I hope it's just an easy in and out approval.
  7. What was your DQ date? I'm in the U.S and the email came around 1am my time.
  8. Still nothing, according to a few in a Facebook message group, some are waiting over 5 months now since DQ.
  9. Is there a timeframe that we have to update the I864? If nothing changed with income and only filed taxes for the 2023 year. DQ Nov 2023, still waiting for interview date. Would it need to be updated or just do it either way?
  10. Just a jump on question based off op scenario, after filing 2023 taxes and uploading to CEAC, would a person need to file an updated I864 or is the original still acceptable from before 2024? Example- DQ Nov 2023, file taxes Feb 2024, upload to CEAC.
  11. They said they don't have the petition and to contact NVC through the public inquiry. I had my congressmans office send an inquiry to NVC, waiting on that response now. I think they are extremely backed up with B1s and 2s, they've been approving around 900-1000 for the last few months now. I don't know where the CR1/IR1s sit in the order of things. It's fine I guess, since at this point my wife will be IR1 upon entry to the U.S so we won't need to mess with the 751 and just get the 10 year right away.
  12. I got a response, it just said the embassy does not have the current petition and to contact NVC through the public inquiry form.
