Immigrant visa processing at US Embassy/Consulate during COVID

10-21-2020, 07:56 PM

We have been waiting for a CR1 (spouse of US citizen) consular processing for quite a long time.

1. In the mean time, the marriage is now more than 2 years old, so category changes from CR1 to IR1 (i.e., an unconditional green card should be issued). Is there anything the petitioner or beneficiary needs to do for this, r is this automatic?

2. Is there some official State Department website that lists which countries/consulates are doing the Consular Processing during the current covid times?

Bumping the thread.... have the US consulates in any country resumed CR1 processing? Any site that gives updates?
