Consulate Review: Dominican Republic Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : March 14, 2016 Embassy Review : Interview was easier than I thought. Considering its my third petition in 8 years. My case was expedited at USCIS and NVC. We were given our number and waited for it to be called. We first handed all of our docs I1864 Marriage Certificate his Birth Certificate and Medicals. The lady who collected our documents asked us our address and how long we have been married. She sent us to pay our fee of $325 and we went back to hand her both receipts.. We sat back down and waited again. I was sooooo sleepy so I went outside and bought us coffee and a snack and right when I was about to sit down again we were called back up to the window where interview was held. The nice American Lady asked the following to Me: Do you speak English and Spanish? Yes Where are you from that you speak Spanish: Dominican How did you meet? Internet and my friend married his friend and we went to their wedding here in Mao She took the pictures from my original app and saw my wedding pics (I made a small album at Walgreens for $5 lol she loved it). She then said I wish all my applications were this organized. I took a file folder full of docs proof etc and she didn't want any of them lol she said I sent enough in my original packet. To hubby in Spanish she asked: Have you ever been married? NO Have you traveled outside of the country: NO Do you have kids: NO She then said Visa Approved you will receive in the next 10 business days. Never asked anything about previous petitions only said you did good dropping out of AOS with your Ex and nothing is held against you for it. We were ecstatic!!!! 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.

** Not all cases are transfered
