I-130 for Spouse - NVC Stage Questions

I feel you on the separation anxiety! We were apart for 18 months during K1 processing. It's hard but you'll get through it.

For your question about spouse visiting US - it's risky. With a pending immigrant petition, a tourist visa might be denied for immigrant intent. Most attorneys recommend against it unless there's a compelling reason.

NVC stage can be confusing! Here's what helped us:

1. Create CEAC account immediately
2. Pay fees as soon as invoice is available
3. Submit DS-260 carefully - it's hard to change later
4. Scan documents clearly and label them properly
5. I-864 needs petitioner's tax returns, W2s, and employment letter

Ciudad Juarez wait times vary. I've seen 6-9 months for interview after DQ recently. Check forums for current wait times.

Hang in there! The separation is the hardest part.
