Consulate Review: Mumbai, India Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : September 19, 2016 Embassy Review : Overall interview went really smooth. My husband had an interview in Mumbai at 7:30 AM he stood on the immigration line which was very short and he was 5th person in line. He got in around 7 AM. Once they entered there was security check. Then they organized his documents and gave a token. Then they called our the token and the Indian lady asked many questions: 1) Who is calling you? 2) What's your name? 3) Where do you live? 4) Where do you work? 5) When did you get married? 6) What do you do for living? She also asked for my W2 (not sure why? this was not required but then she returned it right away) Then another wait for the final phase of the interview: 1) Who is calling you? 2) What does she do? 3) Which state does she live? 4) What do you do? 5) Does she cook? 6) Which is your favorite food that she cooks? 7) Does she watch TV? (yes) 8) Which is her favorite show? (Game of thrones) 9) Have you watched Game of thrones? (yes, I have not miss any episode) 10) Have you read the book? ( He said No) You are Approved! And CO was very friendly and before leaving he told him do read the book once. LOL I Thank God for everything. The process was so smooth and they did not even ask for Photographs/ Proof of relationship. Also, they did not ask for any AOS related documents. Good luck! 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
