We got approved 2 days ago:
 
- NOA 1: Jan 3
- Sent in K3: Feb 15
- Actively reviewed: Feb 16
- NOA 2: 4/7 (approved)
 
We were doing the K1 process before but withdrew. Not sure if that is the reason our case got approved so quickly.
 
Our case was originally at the Texas Service Center and was transferred to Nebraska after we submitted the K3.

Yes. We already had an approved K1 beforehand but we cancelled and abandoned if for the CR1 since our K1 hadn't moved in 2 years. 

I have been to Manila three times but I am never bothered by beggars or scammers because I am Mexican and they confuse me for being Filipino and people think I am a local. 
 
It is quite funny when people talk to me in Tagalog and I stare at them with a blank look. They look back at me as if I am dumb.

We just got DQed. Our original submission date was 4/24 and we got an RFE for an unclear birth certificate on July 7, resubmitted the same day, and we got DQed today! I was scared we would have to wait the 75 days again but I guess not. Good luck everyone.

Quick update.
 
Yesterday my case got DQd! 
 
As I mentioned, I did not add a joint sponsor to the CEAC site but will bring a joint sponsor packet to the interview just in case.

That´s a tricky one to answer but in my experience the NVC uses the date of the first submitted document, unless you re-submit something under the required documents list. That may reset the timeline but I don´t have first hand experience with it.
 
Most people seem to report that adding documents under the "Additional" category does not reset the timeline.

We were on the same boat. We waited almost two years for our K1 and then we ended up getting married online through Utah. A month after we were married and before I went to go visit her, we got an email that our K1 was being transferred to the embassy (AHHHHHH!!!).
 
I asked around if we could still go back to the K1 because I didn't want to wait for the whole CR1 process, but we figured it was going to be too risky so we stuck it out. 
 
Our CR1 process has been fast. We applied for it on January 2, 2022 and we are one week away from potentially being DQed from the NVC and transferred to the Manila Embassy. 
 
Yes. we had to wait longer but it helped that I was able to visit her, and that when she gets here she will be able to start working immediately.

My husband is 💯 aware of my activity on VJ and tells me I need to concentrate on getting a job in the US.
I'm going to show him this post to show him I'm doing some useful work 
Send some money to my paypal to make this all legit 🤣

Amazing.
 
Side note:
There are lots of people who give great, knowledgeable responses whenever I post on this forum. But I've noticed that you, in particular, are always so quick and so erudite with your responses. I wanted to just acknowledge that and say thank you!

That's great! Glad to hear that. I guess we will take a shot at expediting our case as well.
