How long until the interview in Bogota?

VisaJourney has... There is a "shortcut" process for the CR1 visa you can follow to reduce the wait time. Do a search for "James' Shortcuts". I was working on the same tract, but the K3 moved along so much faster that I stopped the CR1 tract.

I think the total time for a CR1 is about 1 year, so, determine the amount of time you have already spent working for the CR1 to figure out how much wait time you have remaining.

Jester,I merely suggested Jester,

I merely suggested that the OP go to VisaJourney.com and review the "Shortcuts" one can take to reduce the time for getting a CR1 visa approved. You OBVIOUSLY did not go to the website to determine what these shortcuts were and simply throw out a blanket statement that suggests we need to contact you, possibly pay you a fee, in order to get help.

If you are truly interested in being a member of this community, then stop advertising your e-mail address, and offer your "help" right here on PBH.

It's very simple. Here's how you do just that....

--- CR1 visa help and some "timesavers" you can implement ---

1. About 2 weeks after you recieve the NOA2 from USCIS, the NVC assigns a case number. Approx 2 more weeks after that, they will generate the I-864 fee bill and the DS-3032 "Choice of Agent". To find this out, call NVC on a Tuesday.

2. Once these are generated, the system is ready (that day) to accept these from the applicant. By downloading the DS-3032, then going to idautomation.com, you can create the barcode to place on the form. Complete the form and send it in.

*This saves a good chunck of time by NOT WAITING for NVC to send the docs to the spouse, then back to you.

3. This same process can be done with the I-864 and reduce the time by downloading and generating the forms (with barcodes) yourself. In essence, this process allows you to reduce the wait time by not waiting for the NVC to send the documents -- once they generate it, they are ready to accept it. So, taking a bit of action you don't have to wait weeks/months for them to send you things.

4. This same process can be used for the DS-230 as well. Have your spouse download the form, complete it, then go generate the barcode.


Now, these are just "tips" and I recommend that you fully review and ask the pertinent questions you might have by going here:

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=117

This will detail the exact processes you need to do in order to REDUCE THE TIME required for the CR1 visa.

So, Jester --- are these suggestions "shortcuts"? Perhaps a bad description. But by doing just a couple of specific things, you can most definitely reduce the time required to get that CR1 visa.

Excellent post, Fred!
Excellent post, Fred!

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.
