IR-1 Visa
I am interested in filing an IR-1 Visa for my wife...here is our situation:
Me, my wife and my 3 year old live in the UK. I am a US citizen with perminent residency in the UK, my wife and daughter both hold British Passports.
I am going to obtain a US passport for my daughter in the next few weeks and want to begin the process to obtain an IR-1 for my wife before we relocate back to the US.
Do you have a step by step 'guide' to doing this? As far as I got was filing an I-130 to the American Embassy in London...What next, how long will this take etc???
Please help!
Thanks
Nick

Re: IR-1 Visa
I moved your post to the correct forum. Also may I suggest you visit the wiki and also do a little searching on this forum for DCF.
Search out "meauxna" and you will see a link in her signature to what you are after.
Research is a good thing
All in all count on 6 to 8 months from start to finish.

Re: IR-1 Visa
You need to complete the process before your wife can relocate, not begin it. That will take a few months.
