| Embassy Review : |
I accompanied my wife for her CR1 interview since I was in Taiwan at the time for another reason. However, they didn't need me to appear for the interview, so I ended up sitting in the waiting room along with everyone else for the whole time and was able to observe the interview process for my wife.
My wife's CR1 interview went very smoothly and everyone she encountered were very friendly and courteous. At the 2nd floor, you first go to Window 3 to let them know that you are appearing for your CR1 interview, then you'll be called to either Window 1 or 2 to go through a document prep interview where they make sure you have all the requisite documents. Then, you'll be called to Window 4 for the actual interview.
At the interview, a nice lady asked my wife three questions:
1. When did you get married?
2. Where did you get married?
3. Where does your husband work?
Afterwards, the lady (consular officer) commented that our documents were all complete and that my wife would be receiving her passport within 3-4 days.
Although we were at the AIT for around 2 hours (mostly just waiting to be called), the document prep interview @ Window 1 took around 5 minutes, and the actual interview @ Window 4 took less than 5 minutes (which also includes time to take the oath, finger print scanning, and the three questions that she asked).
Although they quoted 3-4 days for the courier service, my wife received her passport along with the CR1 visa within 24 hours.
Overall, it was a pleasant experience and top marks for AIT and all the friendly people working there! |

*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.
