Simon, have you gotten an interview letter yet? Heard of a girl DQed in December that had a mid June interview.

No nothing yet. System still shows “At NVC” I imagine I’m a month or two away from hearing anything. Figure it’ll be an august interview making it almost exactly a 2 year process!

Hello! IR1 case here. We were DQ'd on Dec 5, 2022 and are still awaiting an interview date. A guy in the thread above said he was DQ'd in mid-October 2022 and heard about his interview date in early Feb 2023. The interviews appear to be taking place about 5 weeks after you hear from them about it. We estimate we'll have our interview at the earliest in April and latest in May so since you're about 2 months behind this timeline you can likely expect June or July for an interview date.

 

If you're not in it already, join the K-1 and CR-1 VISA Process for Aussies group on Facebook. He also gave me this tip and it's been very helpful in trying to suss out when you might be hearing about your interview date. 

 

And I have no clue about the priority date but what you suggested sounds right. Hope this helps!

Thanks Ashley,

Looks like there's about a 5 month wait time at the moment from DQ to interview. Not ideal but not much else to do but wait!

@SimonNH
1. My interview is next week, and I got DQ'd in October

2. The priority date is irrelevant, they're only concerned about DQ date

3. I'd recommend joining "K-1 and CR-1 VISA Process for Aussies" on Facebook,  there's a very good support network there.

Thanks Jed, good luck this week. Looks like they're currently running about a 5 month wait time from DQ to interview.

Hi Everyone,

Just wondering if anyone has any updates on their CR1/IR1 cases into the New Year?

I've been DQ'd on 8th of Feb and just trying to get a rough idea of what sort of timeline we are looking at to get the interview.

I've been travelling back and forth to the US for the last 18 months on my B1/B2 visa on a 2 month rotation but unsure if I should go back for my next planned trip or wait it out down here. Last entry through CBP was tense and I was grilled pretty hard but avoided secondary inspection. Not sure I want to run the gauntlet again. I'm due to head back the end of April at this stage for a 5 week trip.

Also, does the priority date of your case play into where you sit in line for an interview. Say, if there are two people with the same DQ date, does the one with an earlier priority date get the interview first?
