hey.. this is my personal experience..i am a doc who married another doctor in newyork after being in relation for about 1.5 years. our marriage was in dec 2013 in kerala, india. WE applied for immigrant visa in feb 2014. then processing of spouse visas were at a very fast rate due to some changes in laws..so we were really in hope of getting a visa early..
priority date- 11 FEB 2014. case WAS accepted and routed to the USCIS California Service Center for processing with Receipt Number WAC1490131873.
i130 approved and sent to nvc - BY APRIL END
AOS FEES PAID- MAY 28 2014
CHOICE OF AGENT DS 261 FILED ON 26 JUNE 2014
IV FEES PAID ON 13 AUGUST 2014
DS 260 FILED ON 16 AUGUST 2014
CASE COMPLETED AND INTERVIEW SCHEDULED ON OCTOBER 15 2014
INTERVIEW IN MUMBAI CONSULATE ON 05 NOVEMBER 2014
USCIS and NVC processing went through and I was interviewed at the Mumbai consulate on Nov 5 2014. However, during the interview, the consulate told me my processing was wrong and that the NVC had made a mistake in allotting CR1 category when, in fact my category should have been F2A for wife of a green card holder. I had previously alerted NVC on this fact by email ( for which I got no response) and telephone ( my husband was told everything was in order).
the cosular who interviewd me apologised that i have to wait for few more months till my priority date becomes current.now current date is march 2013.so i have to wait another 1 year may be. He told me i can apply for a non immigrant visa to appear for exam even though he cant guarantee that i will get that. what should i do now.
will i be rejected a non immigrant visa again or should i wait for my immigrant visa..
