When we arrived to Raleigh the BPC took my wife fingerprints and asked us to wait in another room for processing. He didn't ask one single question. We sat and waited for 20 minutes to then a lady called my wife's name. We went to her and she just handed us a document and advised us that her green card wil be mailed to us then said welcome home. 🎉🎊🎉

Consulate Review: Riyadh, Saudi Arabia Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : March 13, 2017 Embassy Review : Today my wife got her visa approved and I was with her during the interview. Her interview was 12:30 and we were the first on the line. They called our number to window 12 and the guy collected all original civil documents and took my wife's fingerprints. The guy asked if I have a job offer or work lined up once we move to the US. Since I've been living and working in Saudi Arabia for 7 years. I told him I'm focusing now on getting my wife home then I will worry about a job once I move there. We will be living with family so technically not much of expenses will be there for us. I told him we already booked our flight to travel March 23rd even before we got our interview scheduled that's how eager we are to go home. He asked us to sit and wait for my wife's name to be called. We went and waited for another 15 minutes and then they called my wife's name. We went to window # 13 and he looked at us and immediate handed over to my wife's a paper with her rights in the US. He then asked her to have her fingerprints again and asked her raise her right hand for oath. The guy looked at me and asked me why do you want to go back home now? I told him I've had enough and it's time to go back. He smiled and said congratulation your visa is approved. He asked us to go back and they'll call her name again. By the time we reach to the seat before even sitting, they called her name again and handed over a piece of paper to come and collect the visa within three days.. The entire journey in the embassy didn't take more than 35 minutes 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.
