Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Our interview was at Riyadh Embassy on July 12, 2017 at 12:30 PM. It was an exceptionally hot day and we arrived half an hour early at the consulate so we decided to drive around for a bit and get Starbucks. At about 12:10 we went back to the embassy and this time we saw people have started to come in for the interview. We were all told to wait outside the embassy in a closed roof area with fans and water spray so it wasn’t so bad. At 12:15 we lined up and went to the one of the windows located outside of the building, there we showed them our appointment letter and turned in our car keys and cellphones. Then my husband and I walked through two different doors to go through security. Once we cleared security we walked inside the embassy. As soon as we entered a guy sitting at the counter handed us a ticket and told us to take a seat. We waited in the waiting area for about 20 minutes before our number was called in the very last window. A gentleman who appeared to be Indian lo... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Today my wife got her visa approved and I was with her during the interview. Her interview was 12:30 and we were the first on the line.
They called our number to window 12 and the guy collected all original civil documents and took my wife's fingerprints. The guy asked if I have a job offer or work lined up once we move to the US. Since I've been living and working in Saudi Arabia for 7 years. I told him I'm focusing now on getting my wife home then I will worry about a job once I move there. We will be living with family so technically not much of expenses will be there for us. I told him we already booked our flight to travel March 23rd even before we got our interview scheduled that's how eager we are to go home. He asked us to sit and wait for my wife's name to be called. We went and waited for another 15 minutes and then they called my wife's name. We went to window # 13 and he looked at us and immediate handed over to my wife's a paper with her rights in the US. He then a... read complete review

The process at the USA Embassy Riyadh was smooth, although the extra security precautions created some challenges finding a parking location. Entry to the Embassy is only permitted at the specified time, with the control area advising when you may enter and complete the security protocols. Once inside the embassy, the process can be slow, taking approximately 2-3 hours. You will need to leave the embassy at one point to obtain a SMSA courier receipt for the return of your passport. This could be done in advance if you desire; you will need to know the case number and put this on the package. It does not take much extra time, but it can save about 20 minutes. The SMSA office is close, and also surrounded by restaurants so that is a good time to take in some food for those who travelled to the embassy. The staff are good and there are multiple steps to complete, but they are efficient and polite.

When you go, be sure that you have all of the items you might need. These sho... read complete review
