    Wife had her interview at the embassy yesterday. Was asked how we met, where do I live, do I speak Spanish(yup), where did the engagement and wedding take place, when was the last time she saw me...I was outside and flipped through a few pics. Everything went very well, young lady told her we were approved. Just waiting on emails for the next step now. Good luck to everyone else in the same boat.

    I know what you are saying. Experience this every time I go to Costa Rica rica. I swear four planes arrive right before we do and it takes forever to clear customs. To your second point, I booked the seats right by the door so we will be first off the plane. Thank you for the response.

    I am platinum with delta. Upgrades, Lounge, free luggage, using points for flights. Vegas is an easy two hr ride.

    I was hoping to have a layover in LA but Delta only runs through Atlanta this time of year.

    Thank you for the feedback, you guys are the best I found a flight with a 4 hr layover. If all goes smoothly I can spoil the wife in the airport lounge.

    Good morning all, I am looking at booking a flight for my wife to enter the US in Sept. I am trying to gauge how long of a layover we will need coming in. I have asked various CBP officers and some say it takes ten minutes for the first entry and others say an hour and change. What say you? I would be flying with my wife and right now the flight I normally take is a little over a two hr layover in Atlanta.

    We talked this through and will wait the extra six weeks. Thank you all for your input.

    I just looked at the marriage certificate and it says Sept 16. I know it took a while for it to get filed, so I wasn't sure which date it was. Thank you for the feedback.

    Interview is July 9th. Tentative plan is for her to fly back to the states with me August 2nd if all goes according to plan.

    Signed paperwork for our civil marriage Sept 16, 2023. I talked with the wifey and she said she doesn't want to wait and we can do paperwork in two years if all goes according to plans.

    Got word today that my wife's interview got pushed back three weeks. It got me to thinking about the CR1 vs IR1. I understand that the IR1 is granted if you enter after your two yr anniversary. My question is this, we signed marital paperwork on Sept 16. Our paperwork was filed and received with USCIS a month and a half later. Would they use the November date or the Sept date?

    Just got our interview date for the embassy in Costa Rica, June 26. Went from absolutely nothing happening for 16 months to things flying now. We are super excited. Best of luck to all of you waiting.

    Just checked documents, approved. Best part is I am down in Costa Rica with the wife. Ecstatic.

    Email this morning, we have taken action on your case. USCIS website says it is being actively reviewed as of March 4th now, not November anymore. Something might actually be happening. Holy cow.

    Yes

    I was going through old emails. There was one from March of last year from visa journey and it said estimated approval, Oct 14th. The email they sent yesterday said February 16th. VJ is about as accurate as the USCIS website.

    I went years without coverage and survived. She is 34, knock on wood, if something happened in this period, I would have to open up the check book.

    One can only hope. I asked Santa for an approval and not a RFE. Hope he delivers. Lol

    We had open enrollment and I called and inquired about signing my wife up. I figured I had to get her insurance during this period but I was wrong. They said when she gets here, call them and they will be able to add her to my policy. Saves me from paying for her for a few months.

    Nov '23 filer. Case is at CSC and crickets still.
  23. oldgreg
    Let's go!!!!!!

    We started ours in November, a month before you. We went in thinking 18 months. Have patience, it is tough. It will be worth it.

    Good luck. I am dealing with the IRS now. Submitted taxes and had my wife down with my last name. After a long process they rejected everything. Come to find out because the passport has her maiden name on it and we put my last name on the taxes. Just a heads up. Not sure if they have it out for me or this is SOP. We are resubmitting everything with her maiden name.
