Rating:  | Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa
My wife's interview was scheduled for 8am (as well as about 15 other immigration visa-related cases). They only allow the intending immigrant inside the consulate, so I had to wait outside. Once they started allowing people inside the consulate, she passed through security and picked a number (her "place" in line). They didn't point this step out to her before, so by the time she realized she needed a number, she was dead-last to be interviewed. (I had to wait outside the consulate for about three hours  ).
The interview was with a woman. The first question was, "Who is Don Jxxxxx?" (My father). She answered correctly. Then, the interviewer asked how my wife and I met. My wife told her the story and explained that I had been living in Russia with her for the last year working and helping my wife through this whole visa process. That was it. She was very polite and smiled several times throughout the interview. She told us that all our paperwork was in perfect order, so there would be no delays or processing issues.
The interviewer said that it would be "one week, not more than two" to receive the visa. She congratulated my wife and wished her a safe journey to the U.S.
