Consulate Review: Peru Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : February 20, 2013 Embassy Review : We arrived at about 7:00 for our 9:00 appointment. The line was long, it probably took 15 minutes to get through. We went inside and sat on benches to be called. We were called to a window and spoke with a woman for a few minutes. I am the USC, she only spoke to my wife. She asked for the two passport photos and the medical information. She then asked how and when we met. What do we talk about? How many times have I visited? It was very relaxed. She asked to see photos. I had the photos in a binder, but we had to take them out and slide them through a little slot. She then told us to sit down and wait more. Then we were called into a private room with a man to interview us. This was also very relaxed. He asked what language we prefer? How did me meet? How many times have I visited? Do we have trouble communicating? Where we would live in the U.S.? It was all very relaxed, it did not feel like they were trying to trick us at all. Then he said we were approved and gave us the info to register with DHL. In all we were there just over 2 hours total. My wife thought both interviewers were impressed that we have spoken about our future and that we want to have kids. Overall being prepared because of VisaJourney make it pretty easy. 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
