Considering what we went through in 2006 with the returned K1, we are both pleased with how the CR1 process has been for us from beginning to end. Even the interview at the consulate went smooth, it lasted less than 10 minutes with few questions and obviously no doubts :)
The CR1 may take a month or so longer than the K3, but it is well worth it, trust us! |

The easy entry process was well deserved for my husband. It took all of 15 minutes for him to get through the line and be welcomed to the United States. It took him longer to find a cart to put his luggage on :) |

Interview:
Interview was on Thursday, SO was asked many questions about everything. The questioning went fine. He was asked if he had additional photos of us, upon presenting them he was asked for photos of our engagement party. He did not have those photos with him so the consulate asked him to come back on Monday with the photos...no 221g as far as I know, just a paper stating that:
Further consideration for approval of the applicant's K1 fiance visa will be made upon presentation of the following documents: Fiance Ceremony Photos.
Return to Consulate with Photos Requested:
Upon arrival to the door, security would not let him in. They told him his interview was finished and that he must leave the photos with them and they would give them to the CO. They said they will call anytime.
There is no indication of approval or denial, none whatsoever. The affidavit of support was not taken at the time of the interview, nor was our proof of ongoing relationship.
Honestly, I am convinced that our government loves to play games with our heads in these cases. There is no consistency between consulates...even less between consular officers in the same consulate when it comes to documentation and communication. I realize every case is different...but to leave us hanging like this is so frustrating.
I am rating this consulate a "1" until I hear something on our case...until then we wait patiently like we have been for the past 8 months. Insh'allah we will hear something soon and we can be together without me having to make a drastic life-change like...moving to Morocco. If nothing is heard for 2 weeks I will begin calling and emailing the consulate on a status of our case.
no smiley on this one yet. |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
