Consulate Review: Guatemala Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : July 25, 2012 Embassy Review : My interview time was 9 am, so I arrived at 8:30 am. I didn't know they give out numbers for people interviewing for immigrant visas, thus I was left with the last number. My advise is to arrive at 8 am the latest if your interview is at 9 am. After I got the number I went through security, then I was called to turn in my medical records, and then to get fingerprinted. After that I had to wait for 2.5 hours for my interview. The interview lasted 5 minutes. I was asked where I met my husband, when we started dating, how long I had lived in the U.S. and to explain my husbands' job. The interviewer was friendly. She told me everything looked in order and that she was going to issue my visa. I was given a piece of paper with instructions. I have to say that the new system they have for passport pick up is very confusing. Overall a very good experience. 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
