Hello,

From what you posted, it appears your friend is currently in the US and plans to get married in 3 months time, if that is the case then this is what you need to do:
 
 
As to the second part of your post, if the friend has not been granted Advanced Parole during the AOS process and leave the country, then said process will be considered abandoned and your friend's spouse would have to start from square one with the spousal visa process while your friend would have to wait that process out in India.

Yes I agree with you but when you like someone and you want to make them your life partner, what is wrong in that?

Hi Guys, I have a facebook group, I think some guys are in that group, so the majority of people there got the 60 days wait email and we are so mad and worried about it... we really want to do something because it is horrible that NVC has a terrible work day by day, a friend in the gruop had the idea to write a letter and talk with news channels, in conclusion do something with this problem because we really need to be with our family...please if you want to support this idea or you have more ideas let me know, we need more and more people so NVC could listen to us... Thanks

If you are waiting on IR1/CR1 the priority dates mean nothing. IR1/CR1 visas are unlimited each year. Given what is being said in various threads here on VJ, if you are not expedited the petitions are approved randomly. There seems to be no rhyme or reason. They seem to be going by dates for a while, then some are whisked through really quickly for no particular reason, and then some (and I really feel for these folks) are caught in a backlog vortex and are bounced around from service center to service center for a year or longer. The eternal optimist in me keeps me checking, but I do not get my hopes up and I keep my expectations low. It is great to see the ones who are getting through in a reasonable timeframe, but I hold no illusions that that this process will follow any particular timeline. I will count myself lucky to hold my visa by November this year. If it happens earlier - fanfreakingtastic, if not...oh well. It is not something I can control.
To AlexandCarlos19, VJ has become my Facebook also. I actually spend more time on here than FB anyway, with the added bonus of the wealth of knowledge these folks have. I sure hope it doesn't take two years for the process to finish but at least if it does, you save a fistful of money! Good luck to you!!

I hear you, it's been 23 days for us, still can't check the status on USCIS website nor sign up for email or sms update

Is it just me or it's for real that more people are getting NOA2 approved quickly in Nebraska Service Center?
Wake up Texas Service Center...

Medical Day 1, VAC Day 2 seems a better plan. Also, do not forget to get the vaccinations (at least as many of them as possible) done before going for medical. Otherwise, they will give you all the shots all on the same day during medical and it will also cost lot more.
Here are some vaccination clinics in Bangalore - http://www.justdial.com/Bangalore/vaccination-centre
