Consulate Review: France Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : November 22, 2012 Embassy Review : I arrived at the Consulate about 15 minutes before 1pm which was the time of my interview. Got in after going through security who retained my phone and liquids. I took a ticket corresponding to my type of petition and was the second one in line. Around 10 to 15 minutes later I was called to a first window where I presented my documents as well as the Chronopost envelope. I was then asked to sit and was called again about 10 minutes later for a review of other elements and fingerprints. I was then told I will be called by the Consular Officer for questioning. Less that 10 minutes later I was facing a very nice and smiling lady who asked me how my wife and I met. I explained in details how we met and how our relationship evolved. After typing a few things on the computer, she told me it was all good to her and that my green card is granted. I was then free to go. All in all, the process barely took an hour. I had a lot of documents and prooves ready but did not even need them. I'm glad our wait is almost over and my wife and I will soon be reunited in beautiful sunny California Wish you all a very smooth process and positive outcome! Best, Ben Rating : Very Good

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.

** Not all cases are transfered
