Consulate Review: London, United Kingdom Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : November 17, 2012 Embassy Review : Interview at the US Embassy - "Your visa has been approved. You're good to go." 10-26-12 It was a very thorough and quite probing interview, and one which was both very fair and measured in a way that made it feel like a conversation rather than an interrogation. I came prepared with documents, written and photographic evidence of the quality and honesty of the relationship, and also some evidence of why I had visited San Francisco so frequently in the previous 5 years. However, he did not want to see any of this. He wanted to hear me talk about the relationship. I was tempted at times to refer to material I had with me, but decided in the end that speaking to him with my eyes open would give him a perfectly true indication of my intentions and integrity. Some of the questions he asked were: Is your wife here? Why not? How did you two meet? Tell me about her family. Have you met her mother? How old is she? How old are you? You were only recently divorced. Have you been living with your ex wife? When did you split up? You were divorced in October. And married when? You were visiting a lot. Sometimes for three months. What do you teach? Will you work when you get to SF? What’s her job? Will you take your savings with you? How much do you earn? 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.
