| Embassy Review : |
Took slightly over 4-months to receive CR-1 from start to finish. Petitioner was residing abroad for 1-year so this automatically took us through the process very quickly.
Interview process was quick and easy.
NOTE: do not bring phone or electronics with you, they will send you on a separate line and let everybody else in before.
After checking my backpack I was told to wait in the Immigration room. 10 minutes later I was called and asked to provide the last original documents needed (birth certificate, marriage certificate, passport).
Waited 10 more minutes and another lady called me to her window. Sworn in front of her that all information is true, took fingerprints and I was asked a couples of questions:
- Where did you meet your wife
- When did you get married
- Do you like her parents
- Do they like you
- Why are you moving to the US now
- Where will you live
- Ever had problems with US Immigration or police
- What's your job
- What's her job
- Has she worked here
As she asked me these questions she was going through the pile of documents that NVC had transferred to the consulate.
At the end she approved the visa and told me to wait up to 5 business days to receive documents, passport with visa and instructions on POE at home.
All in all it was a quick process, people were kind and result was positive!

*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.
