I got my IR1 visa approved last week, Dakar embassy, Senegal. The officers were very nice to everyone, everyone got approved literally. I had to wait 11 months to get an appointment date

She is great! we have our, or my wife has her interview in Manila this coming Tuesday the 29th...we are very excited, hopeful but of course she is a little nervous.

Hi, I'm under IR1 Visa now... but i did applied for a tourist Visa way back 2022, heartbreakingly I was denied. So my question is, does it affect my upcoming IR1 visa interview this month?
Your reply to my query is highly appreciated 🙏🙏

Hi, please does a IR1 need to register their appointment date on the AVITS website?

Recently came across this visa option. My husband and I already decided on consular processing due to our family circumstance. Is this the visa you get when you do consular processing

I will be having my CR1 Visa in 1 and half month. What are some possible questions will the consular might ask if we get married through double proxy marriage in Montana. Also I am wondering and stressing out for using my married name in USCIS application while the NVC accept my maiden name when I get done applying for DS-260 because my passport is in my maiden name and I haven't changed my name in Philippines because I didn't update my status in philippines

[GillianBright-xt]
