Consulate Review: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : November 11, 2012 Embassy Review : The lady that interviewed us was lovely. It took less than five minutes once we finally got to the actual interview (we waiting for about 2.5 hours after getting to the consulate). She asked Tuyen a few questions and that was it! I was a little surprised because I'd heard so many stories of difficult interviews, but ours was great. 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
