Consulate Review: Jamaica Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : August 6, 2013 Embassy Review : Arrived at the embassy at 7:30 and the interview was for 8:00 a.m. Was told to join a separate line for IV which happened to be a little shorter. After joining that line someone came to us and looked at the documents and the invitation letter and mark something on the paper. About 5 minutes after that we were entering the embassy building. Upon entering was told to take off belts, shoes etc. then went through the security check. Then we were directed by the security to sit under a booth. After that we went into another building and was given numbers and they wrote down our names and had us handed us a paper to write down the passport number on. Then we went to the waiting area and waited for our numbers to be called. It was about a half of an hour before our number was called and then we went up to a window and spoke to a black man. He took all the medical info and asked a few questions, after that we were seated again. About 20 minutes later my name was called and we went to speak to a young white woman who took finger prints and asked the following question... 1. Where did we meet 2. How long have we been married 3. Who attended the wedding 4. Were there pictures from the wedding 5. How long did we talk before we got married she then went through pictures and took the phone records gave me a paper with the document that I had forgotten to bring 221g which was a temp refusal. She said after I submitted the paper I would have my visa in 2 weeks. Rating : Moderate

*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
