Consulate Review: Slovakia Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : February 25, 2015 Embassy Review : The staff working at the embassy was very kind a very professional. I attended CR1 interview with my husband. After passing security check we waited about half an hour in the waiting room. After that we were called by a very nice Slovak lady who took my fingerprints, went through all our documents and explained everything in detail. After that we were told to wait in the waiting room and after about 15 minutes got called again to pay fees. This can be done either with cash or credit card. They don't accept debit cards. After paying the fee we were called by a nice and friendly American female consul who also took fingerprints. The whole interview took only couple of minutes. No questions were asked about how I met my husband or anything like that (maybe because they didn't need to verify the relationship since he was there with me). After that we were told to wait about 2-3 days for the visa since their system was down and they couldn't finalize the checks at the moment. Two days later we returned to the embassy for visa. The overall experience was very good and I was surprised how friendly everyone was including security. 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.
