Consulate Review: France Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : November 5, 2014 Embassy Review : For my husband's IR-1 visa, we went to the Embassy in Paris at 1p.m., and at the security, they asked us to leave the cell phones there. We got a ticket starting with "A". The first we were asked to provide the convocation letter, which is P4 letter. then wait for a while. 30 mins later, our number was called and a nice lady asked us whether we wanted to provide new documents, so we provided most updated birth certificate and police record, which we obtained right after we got a CC. Then she told us that they no longer need a chronopost envelope, but instead, they changed the system to go on the internet to register the mailing address online. So I went down to the room down the stairs and register and printed what she asked us to do. He also got his finger prints there. Then we waited for another an hour or so and finally our number was called for the interview. The CO was a young lady and asked my husband whether he wanted to do it in English or French and he said French. I was told that I could accompany him but could not answer the questions on behalf of him. So I was standing next to him during the interview. He made an oath and then the officer asked some questions; -When was the last time you were in the U.S.? -How long have you been married? -Have you been always living together after the marriage? -Why do you want to go to the U.S.? And that was it and she said "Felicitation! (Congratulations)" and that was it. We finished around 4 p.m. Overall everything was smooth although some people seemed to have been having some hard time with the officers. It was quite cold inside the waiting room so if you are going there during the winter season, make sure that you bring your sweaters or coats to warm you up. 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.
