Did you husband get his visa? sheesh after a long wait, the consulate will make people stuck for a long time. I saw your timeline and seems like you guys got put in some admin processing for quite a while. so just curious if you guys got through.

Thank you. Edit from my post. Last time I went there was April 2024, not 2023.

Hi both, I got my I130 approved in July. I also got DQ by NVC. waiting for interview letter from Mumbai consulate. To answer Redro's question: I have seen my spouse three times after our marriage. I went there for 11 days each (three times) within one year of the marriage (approximately) after our marriage - the trips were spread out. Yes, I got married on the first visit. we started talking over the phone and video calls 6 months before marriage though. Last time I saw my spouse in April 2023 USCIS I130 is approved with no RFE not a big age gap arrange marriage and one of a known relative within the family introduced our families. The thing is that we Arya Samaj Wedding and we only had 17 people present in our wedding - her family and my family. We did the religious ritual of walking around fire. We then legally registered our marriage in India. I saw a lot of posts about H4 visa, L2 visa being denied because consular officer is thinking that Arya samaj wedding is not a real wedding. I am just so nervous about this with my spouse. We have been waiting to get this over with and be with each other and we are already separated for 15 months (we have yet to receive our interview letter).

Hi, I am consular process with PD June 2023 (I130). It is getting close to 14 months and I still haven't received an approval on my petition. I chatted with Emma and the agent told me the recent update is 'task ownership changed' and my timeline is fluctuating. it went from 4 months to 11 months to 12 months in just 3 days - this is wild. anyone knows what 'task ownership changed' by uscis means?

US citizen filed for Indian spouse. had arya samaj wedding (small wedding) then registered marriage with the gov't and got the certificate. now reading stuff online that US consulates looking at this suspiciously. like #######. https://www.njimmigrationattorney.com/blog/2020/09/marriage-visa-based-on-arya-samaj-wedding/ https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/AILA/AILA-Agenda-Fall-2019.pdf anyone done this and faced issues? thoughts? everyone was done according to rituals but wedding was small. freaking out here.
