美国配偶签证要等多久?
我是去年10月份递交的表格,今年8月拿到通知去面试,前后等了九个月的时间,不过中间由于我换工作所以耽误了几个月的时间 下面是官方给出的时间表:
Step 1: Filing the Petition to Immigrate with USCIS: This petition is filed after your marriage has been legally recognized by entering into it in a country that recognizes marriage between two people of different sexes. Once USCIS receives and accepts this filing, they will send out an Approval Notice that includes instructions about how to proceed.
Time frame: Up to six months, if you have all required documentation and file electronically. If you do not meet these criteria,the time frame may be substantially longer because additional information must be requested from you and then processed before we can make any decision on the form you’ve submitted.

While this requires some paperwork beforehand and an initial in-person visit to gather other documents,it eliminates the hassle of getting across multiple borders and having to go through customs when only going in for an interview.
