I am currently deployed to the Middle East with the US Army, and my job is a combat position. We started the filing process a few months before I deployed. I stated what the nature of our deployment has been like so far, like periods of no contact, the stress of having a immigration case while serving in a combat role, and that the most important priority is mission success, not worrying about a immigration proceeding. I also said that any information that my spouse or the embassy may need from me, I could be out of contact with them for several weeks at a time. I had my CO signa memo stating that I was in fact deployed and what our purpose in the Middle East is for. I also provided copies of my orders, and included a personal statement (just under two pages). Perfect thank you!

Hello! My wife's CR-1 visa case has been DQ since mid February of 2023. I went ahead and filed for a expedite for her interview at the US Embassy in Manila a few weeks ago, and it was approved by the Embassy! According to the CEAC it now says our case it at Manila, and when using the Visa Status Check on CEAC it says that our case is ready as of June 20th. I am now not sure where to go next, scrolling through this forum and other online resources, it seems there are some that say to go ahead and schedule the medical with St Lukes, and I can schedule the interview myself, while others say that I should still sit and wait for the embassy to reach out with the interview date. I have been using this forum since we started this process, and hopefully with your guidance be able to finish this process soon. Thank you!
