  1. CR1 could be done after one trip too, but either way most people would want to do more than one visit during the time it takes, and it would be advised as well before interview. But they're the same in terms of only one in person meeting together actually being required for either route. Congrats in advance on the wedding! If you decide to do the Utah marriage route, there is a ton of info about it on the forum. Best of luck.
  2. As has been mentioned before, the service centre is now the same, the state isn't relevant either. All I-129f's take the same amount of time. The only differential depending on the consulate is the interview wait, but that would be the case for either a K1 or a CR1.
  3. Not necessarily, it depends on the category. EB2-NIW doesn't require a job offer, neither does EB1-A. @Ayodeji Charles seems to be an EB1 applicant, but not sure if it's A/B/C. @Ayodeji Charles, please fill in your timeline, thanks.
  4. Then no reason to expedite. And having had a quick look at your previous threads, in your situation I wouldn't expedite anyway, regardless of the reason. Seems you were asking about filling the DS-160 in May after your K-1 was approved for another partner? And then married quite quickly to a different woman who you've filed the I-130 for? So I'd be leaving it as long as possible, your case is going to face much more scrutiny, so you'll need to have as much evidence as possible of time together to overcome that. Good luck.
  5. I agree, particularly when I saw you said they'd never been with her in person. Have they not even met her? How much time have you spent with her? Casablanca is a tricky consulate, so make sure you spend lots of time together before interview. As above, you might as well try for the expedite. It's not going to harm your case if you do and get rejected. Just bear in mind that the I-130 is only the first stage, and about half of the processing time for Morocco. So even if you can get that expedited, you'll still have a long way to go. And your previous application may cause extra scrutiny and delay too. Good luck.
  6. Video calls won't help. They don't show that they had a deeper bond that is now being affected as they're apart. If they'd previously been with her in person (i.e. she was involved in their school life, helped them daily, etc) then it might work. If she's never done any of that, then it's not a reason, as they're not in a different situation now and have the same relationship with her they have always had. No. 3 above you said 'financial strain'?
  7. You've posted this in the DCF section of the forum but I assume this is just a requirement to get married in Iraq, rather than anything to do with a visa application? If you can clarify then hopefully somebody can help.
  8. I don't think any of those would qualify for expedited processing personally. Humanitarian reasons are usually things like being in an armed conflict zone, serious illness etc. But you can certainly try, it's free to do so. And you can try again when you get to the NVC stage if the USCIS expedite is refused.
  9. Your son can still apply though. Personally, I wouldn't risk it just for vacations in another country. The fact that you got pregnant with your boyfriend's baby just after removal of conditions means your case is likely to be scrutinised much more closely. It'll be simpler and easier to just wait and let time pass before you apply for naturalisation.
  10. I'd give it a couple of years personally, unless you have any specific reason to want it sooner I wouldn't rush to apply.
  11. Your case was a decade ago though. Quoting those timescales really aren't helpful to anybody, it's not going to be anywhere close to that now.
  12. OK, so 15 months is about the norm, you should be hearing any day now. Keep checking your online account as often the approval notice is in there before you get notification of it. Good luck.
  13. He's already a green card holder though right? So waiting for citizenship won't make any difference to him either. I agree with the suggestion above, don't apply as soon as you're eligible, give it more time before applying to make things easier.
