Consulate Review: Taipei, Taiwan Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : October 5, 2015 Embassy Review : We arrive at AIT (Taiwan's pseudo embassy) about 15 minutes before our 9:00 appointment and we were told to have a seat and wait for our appointment time before they would collect our appointment letter. After the initial check-in and passport registration (for return of passport with visa stamp) we were directed to the document preparation and interview room. We waited for a very long time (about one hour) for our name to be called. The clerk went though our folder and asked to see original documents for our marriage certificate and household registration (Taiwan document). After we completed document collection and review, we were directed to another window to be fingerprinted. After fingerprints was the formal interview. There were very few questions from the clerk who prepared our documents and even less from the officer who did the actual interview. Questions were about my spouse's current employment, when was the last time we visited the U.S., and then some questions about the AOS. I had a new AOS (current form) prepared with new asset figures. We have no income in the U.S. so we qualified based on the asset rules. No problem. There was a lot of waiting and waiting, but when our turn came it was very quick and easy! Thanks to all the members for all your help along the way! :D 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.
