Consulate Review: Fiji Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : December 15, 2014 Embassy Review : We arrived to the embassy at about 7:30am and our appointment was at 8:00am. The interview was for both my husband and my 1 year old daughter. Upon arrival the security asked us what type of visa we were applying for and then told us to take our medical envelope into the office to have it scanned. Then about 7:45am he had the people waiting line up and after showing their passports let them inside. They wouldn't allow me the petitioner inside because of the small waiting area inside. My daughter was allowed to stay with me outside until they needed her. At about 10am they came and got me and my daughter. My husband had just finally been called up to the first window. We had to clear up some paperwork regarding my daughter - apparently I was informed incorrectly about what I had prepared and had previously been approved at USCIS and NVC. But it was easily amended, just took a little more time. We were then told to wait again. Maybe after about an hour my husband was called to a different window for the interview. He was only asked a few questions: how we met, what I was doing in Tonga, etc. Then I came up with my daughter and answered some questions about her. We were then approved and were told to come back the next day at 3 to pick up their passports and visas. The workers were extremely kind and helpful. Only bad thing was a long wait. My daughter and I had to wait outside and thankfully it wasn't too sunny or rainy. And the actual room where they do the interviews is really small. Rating : 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.
