AMH
Rating:  | Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa
Everything was polite and professional, as others have mentioned. The whole thing took about 2 hours, including having to go next door to the government office to get new family relation and marriage certificate forms because my ARC number was partially redacted in our original versions (Not sure why? Make sure yours have your full ARC number visible!). Luckily that was quick and we just had to run in and give them the forms. Here's the timeline of our visa and approval:
7:45 am Arrived and went to the second floor and waited to hand in documents (we brought everything we submitted to NVC)
8:00 am Gave them our docs
8:50 am Got called up and told about the forms we would need to go get (as I mentioned above)
9:15 am Had a short interview where they asked about where we met, when we got married, what my job was and why we were moving to the states - really quick, polite and easy, then they gave us back most of the docs we submitted
9:20 am We went out and got the family/marriage docs in the nearby gov building and came back and dropped them off
The next day (today) our status on the CEAC site changed to "Visa Issued" - super fast! We're expecting to receive the visa in the mail tomorrow or the next day. All in all a smooth process and everyone at the embassy was nice and helpful.
