Consulate Review: United Arab Emirates Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : October 6, 2015 Embassy Review : Here is my experience of the interview. I went to the embassy at 7.15 am and got 8th in the que once they started letting us enter after showing the interview letter and the passport. The counters opened at 8 am and they started calling the people for the designated counters for immigrant visa applicants. When my number was called the guy took from me the medical report and copies of birth certificate, marriage certificate and police clearances and I was asked to wait for my number. After half an hour I was called to window 8 and the gentleman asked me to raise my hand and swear that whatever I will say would be true. After that he opened my file and started looking at my documents and asked me the following questions: How did you meet your wife where was the ceremony took place Approximately how many people attended the ceremony Then as he was turning the pages for the AOS, he asked me who is sponsoring you he asked me about how many kids the AOS sponsor have what is his relation to me If my wife works or not. (Since my wife is staying here with me to wait for my immigration process, he raised concern about her returning to the US and asked me about my plans to return and I said that i will travel by December) He then asked me about my wife's siblings. Then he asked me to place my fingers for the fingerprints on the same counter. After this he gave me the pink piece of paper and asked me to come on 5th Oct to collect the passport and wished me best of luck. All this questioning took about 5 minutes and I was out of the embassy by 10 am.I must say that the CO was very polite and also had a pleasant personality and I did not feel nervous as it was more of a chat than an interview. 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.
