Rating:  | Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa
Appointment was scheduled for 1:00pm, arrived at the consulate letter in hand at 12h40. Went through security, took my ticket and a seat.
It seemed that we were about 10 filing for an immigrant visa that day.
The process was done in three steps:
- first, at about 1:10pm, everyone was called one after the other by the consular assistant (CA) to check people in. They asked for the appointment letter and the ticket.
- then, they called everyone one after the other to the CA's counter. It took quite some time for my number to be called (2:30pm). The lady was very nice, went through my whole file. Asked me if I happened to have any updated civil documents which I did. Took new pictures too. Asked me if I had a new address, etc... The lady was French and she was really nice. She asked me when I was intending to leave, I said in 3 weeks, then she told me she would try to do my visa ASAP. I suppose that she is in charge of printing it and doing the final steps.
Finally, she asked if I had any questions. I asked her if I could have my packet mailed to my job's address, she said yes.
- Then I had to wait again (maybe 20 minutes) for the CO to call my number. We spoke English. She was very nice. She asked a few questions (like who is my second sponsor compared to my wife or how long have I been married with my wife). Then I took an oath stating that all the provided information were true and she said everything looked good and I should receive my visa in 7 to 10 days.
