Consulate Review: Senegal Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : April 16, 2015 Embassy Review : My wife's interview was at 8 a.m. she arrived early. She waited about an hour before being called. The interviewer asked her a couple questions about how we meet; my wife explained that a mutual friend introduced us and he asked why he introduced us? Also asked about my annulled marriage and my daughter and how we communicate. My wife explained that we live together in Senegal and this caught the interviewer by surprise even though this was extensively documented in our application. My wife had about 200 pages of documents to present but the interviewer never looked at them. The interview lasted about five minutes and ended with the interviewer handing my wife a document stating that our case needed further administrative processing. Four days after the first interview my wife received a call from the embassy asking her to return to the embassy with her passport. When she returned to the embassy she dropped of her passport and was given a green ticket and told to return in four days to pick up her passport. It was never stated whether or not here visa was approved or denied. When she returned to the embassy a gentleman returned her passport with her visa along with a packet to present to immigration upon entry into the U.S.. She was also given a document stating that I would need to pay a fee to USCIS for the processing and handling of her application before she arrived in the U.S.. 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.

** Not all cases are transfered
