Hello, My Spouse I-130 petition filled on 30-Dec-2023, I-130 approved in April 2025, her CR1 Visa interview is now scheduled for Nov-2025 in Mumbai, India Consulate by NVC. Could you please let me know if we need to schedule the Biometrics separately before the Visa interview? Also, can you please guide on what questions will be asked during the interview process? Is it better if I also join with her during the interview process in Mumbai, India? Thank you for your guidance!

Hello Team, I filed I-130 petition for my spouse on Dec2023. Petitioner is me & my spouse as Beneficiary. I-130 petition just got approved today on 03Apr2025. After almost 16 months. Approved petition states that as per petitioner request, we have sent to its U.S. Department of State National Visa Center (NVC), 32 Rochester Avenue, Portsmouth, NH. The NVC processes all approved immigrant visa petitions that need consular action. My Spouse is in India & so not sure if I did any mistake while filling. It should have been sent to India - US consulate...... right for the Visa interview? Also, I want to understand what the next steps for the Visa Interview for her in India are. Could you please let me know if the US Consulate in India will contact my Spouse & will schedule the Visa interview? Once she goes for the Visa interview with the approved I-130 then what Visa will she get to enter in US? Thank you for all your help & guidance on this!

Thank you all for your responses! Helpful.

Thats crazy, can the Fiancée Visa can be quicker than spouse visa?

Thank for your response. 2 years is a very long time. Does it take so long always?

I am USA citizen and planning to marry Indian citizen who do not have USA Visa. How much time it will take her to get US Visa & come with me to USA? Also, is it required to change my Spouse name on her passport after our marriage immediately and before applying her I-130 petition?
