Consulate Review: Auckland, New Zealand Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : June 13, 2014 Embassy Review : So my interview was yesterday. My appointment was at 10am I arrived at 9:30am. I went straight to the immigrant visa window and spoke with B. She was very pleasant as expected reading from all the reviews about her. She said she'll get all my paperwork ready then call me back. 20 minutes later I was called back, she went through all my paperwork and then asked for my bank statement and resume which I gave to her. She could tell I was very nervous so she said it's a done deal already, there's nothing to worry about. I took a seat then was called up by the CO 20 minutes later. I took the oath then only asked two questions. Why do I want to move to America? Am I sure I want to move to America? After that he handed me back my originals, kept my passport and prepaid envelope then said I was free to go. She sent me an email today to say visa has been issued and it'll be leaving their office on Monday. (updated on June 13, 2014) 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
