Consulate Review: Senegal Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : December 19, 2014 Embassy Review : My husband arrived at 7:00 A.M. He was told that his passport photos were not the correct size and had to purchase another set. He returned to the U.S. Embassy at 8:00 A.M. and was granted entry. He was called to the first window and asked to submit original documents. He was called to the second window for fingerprints. Finally, he was called to window #7 for his interview. (He said that he waited a little over an hour to be called to each window.) He was asked the following questions: 1. Who's the petitioner? 2. How long have you known your wife? 3. How did you meet? 4. Where does your wife work? 5. What is her occupation? 6. How long did you live together? 7. Why did your wife return to the USA? 8. Why didn't she return to Senegal? 9. How do we communicate? It was just that simple! The CO did not ask for any evidence other than phone records. This was a huge blessing since the evidence of relationship binder that I sent to him via DHL did not arrive until the same day as his interview. My hubby has to complete a medical requirement and send in phone records (they had this at NVC) and he will be issued his visa! My hubby said that the process was really smooth and that the employees were really nice! This might be due to the holiday season! Peace and blessing to you all and may you all hear the words, "Visa approved!" 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.
