Consulate Review: Barbados
Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa
Event Description
Review Date : November 16, 2020
Embassy Review : Staff was extremely friendly and the process went smooth and quickly. My daughter and I were the only ones in the immigrant visa section. Questions asked were
Who is the petitioner?
How did you meet your spouse?
How many people were at the wedding?
Where was the wedding?
What was date of your wedding?
How long was your spouse living in the states?

My daughter was asked
Is the petitioner your father or stepfather?
What did you wear to the wedding?

It was overall a good experience.

Congrats on ur file finally reaching NVC! Did you previously contact NVC or Uscis about why it took so long to be sent from Uscis to NVC? I'm asking because my petition was approved on Oct. 25, 2019 and it still hasn't been sent out. Thanks!

So your case status is still shows "Case Approved"??
blank avatar JemAA on 2020-01-22 said:
Thanks. I never asked why it took to long. On USCIS website even though it was approved on October 16 they took about 2 months before sending it to nvc.

After being DQ how long did it take to get an interview?
blank avatar JemAA on 2020-07-17 said:
I am still waiting for an interview. I had DQ on April 10 2020 so I still waiting.

You should try expediting if you have a decent reason. We had been DQ since June 1. Finally expedited on 9/14 and got approval of expedite 9/28. Interview is 10/19.

My husband who is the petitioner did send in an email and it just got approved so just waiting on the date now.
blank avatar M&M2019!! on 2020-10-31 said:
Congratulations on your expedite approval. The embassy should be sending you an email with a link to create an account. When you get that email you can schedule your interview yourself. We had our interview October 19th and were approved. My husband's passport reached the embassy on October 26th and is in processing. The immigration officer that he spoke to said that it should take at least 2 weeks to get the Visa issued. Good luck on your journey
blank avatar JemAA on 2020-10-31 said:
Thanks. Hopefully it happens soon. Why did it take so long after approval to reach the embassy.
blank avatar M&M2019!! on 2020-10-31 said:
Because my husband lives in Dominica. Since it was going to take so long to process, we figured he might as well fly home and send it via DHL. Otherwise we would have paid hotel for 2-3 weeks
blank avatar JemAA on 2020-10-31 said:
Ok. Understand.

Congrats on the interview!!
blank avatar JemAA on 2020-11-02 said:
Thanks. Super excited.

Trust me I know. My husband said the interview was super casual and simple. All his medical stuff was sent over electronically so they didn't even take his envelope. They didn't want to see wedding album, but did want to see pictures. I wish you guys the best. The waiting for the Visa is painful.....so close yet still so far😊. It feels surreal. Just want this nightmare over, as I'm sure you guys do to.
blank avatar JemAA on 2020-11-03 said:
Yes we are. Just hoping everything goes smoothly.
blank avatar M&M2019!! on 2020-11-04 said:
Our Visa got issued today!!!! :) Went pretty quickly. Now just needs to get sent back to Dominica. It will go smoothly. Just make sure you go over the checklist and have all your documents and proof of relationship.

blank avatar JemAA on 2020-11-17 said:
Thanks. Not sure. They said it usually takes 1 week but they are working with limited staff so it may take longer.

Hello. Your timeline gives me hope. Our case is currently with NVC (Texas), waiting on a review. Can you tell me how long it took from the date NVC started actively reviewing your case to you being documentarily qualified?

*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.
