Member Reviews:

Consulate Review: Guangzhou, China Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : July 10, 2015 Embassy Review : We pretty much front-loaded them with all evidence and documents with our original P1 package. We visited each other more than 8 times for the past two years before filing CR1 so photos were abundant. We are interracial couple but I do speak fluent English. Interview went fast and smoothly. Only four questions asked: 1. Husband's hometown; 2. Husband's job title; 3. Where we planned to live in usa in future. 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
