Consulate Review: Cambodia
Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Description |
| Review Date : |
October 1, 2013 |
| Embassy Review : |
Interview scheduled at 9 AM. We got there at 8 AM. We were let in at 8:30. Everyone were very courteous. Document check was a longer one then actual interview. This was our 2nd time around after denied K-1 in Sept of 2011. This time around it was really smooth. I discovered if you get engaged or marry on your first visit, very difficult to get approved for a visa. If you have multiple visits, no problem. Always try to attend interview, that's a big plus. I have witnessed many interviews both times and I discovered why denial rate is very high in this particular embassy. Most of denial comes from high fraud rate and if you only visited your spouse once, 99% of the time you will get denied here. Also bring every piece of evidence you can. You can show Skype, facebook all online chat but actual visits beats everything. Also if you traveled outside Cambodia with your spouse, that is also a big plus. |

*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.
