Consulate Review: Ghana Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : March 25, 2013 Embassy Review : Hey...My husbands interview went ok they said he need a joint sponsor. I don't kno how wen he never submitted the aos period. I don't kno what he was thinking. He misunderstood something and thought he was supposed to submit it last. They gave us a second interview on 5/21. I well be emailing tomorrow to see if we can get an earlier date because we have the info already. My Husband just didn't submit it. I was so disappointed with him but everything happens for a reason. Rating : Good

POE Review: Chicago Event Description Entry Date : 2013-05-19 Embassy Review : Very smooth entry. My husband was only asked how long do he plan to stay and have he been here before. They put his documents in a pink folder and told him to take it to another window. He handed the folder over and got his stamp. Easy peasy!!! Harassment Level : Low

*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
