Consulate Review: Indonesia Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : October 27, 2015 Embassy Review : I arrived at USEM at 12:20 and my appointment was at 12:30. Line was not long and the security guy gave me a small tray to put my electronic devices for security check inside. All the securities were nice. Checked all my bags and stuffs, left my phone and then walked into waiting room. There were only 5 interviews for immigrant visa today so the waiting wasn't that bad and I also made new friends. When I got in I had to give some additional documents that embassy had asked through email to Indonesian lady at counter no 7. She was nice to me. Just make sure you put every document, clip them together and just gave them all to the lady. I waited for another 1.5 hours till I finally got called into counter 1, a small room with a window/glass as separator between me and the officer. CO was beautiful white lady and she was so nice. Then I did my fingerprint and oath. The interview itself was pretty fast and went for about 12-15 mins. I couldn't tell precisely cause I was so nervous and did not even take not on what time I got called. Some questions she asked were: 1. Who petitioned for you? 2. Where did you meet your husband? 3. How long have you been married? 4. How long have you been in a relationship before the wedding? 5. Where did you guys get married? 6. Was it a big wedding or at a court? 7. Where does he live now? 8. Are you going to live at same place or move? 9. What is your husband's job? 10. What does the company mainly do? 11. When did he start this new job? (He just started 2 weeks ago so I had to give CO new AOS docs with the new offer letter that stating his new salary) 12. Have you met his family? Has he met your family? 13. Has he visited you? Then next questions were about me since I was an international student before. 1. Where did you go to school? 2. Did you finish your school? 3. Did you do any internship/job after you graduated? Where? 4. Have you ever overstayed your tourist visa? 5. What is your current job? 6. Have you ever been arrested by police or immigrant officer? 7. When will you fly back to America? Those were the questions she asked. I have memorized mostly about my husband and his family but then she also asked a lot of questions about me haha. I already prepared all of our photos in my hand but she didn't ask for them. After that she said, "Congratulations, your visa has been approved! Welcome!" and I said thank you. Before I left she said "Have a safe travel!" I replied "Thank you and have a good day!" So happy and so relieved. Just don't be nervous, give your best smile and say good afternoon when you enter the room. 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.
