Consulate Review: Switzerland
Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa
Event Description
Review Date : July 25, 2017
Embassy Review : Embassy communication good and clear in run up to interview.

Getting there:
Train - 10 minute walk from main station in Bern
Car - Parking garage available 200yds up from the Embassy on the left (other side of road) BUT pedestrian access leads you out onto main street so when you exit, walk down the hill and turn left and you will see the Embassy a short walk ahead of you ( c.5mins from car in all).
Car - Street parking available in a lot of places and just up from the Embassy on the left is a small entrance to pay/ticket display in car parking. cost as I write CHF2.20 per hour with an adjustment hrs more than one hour stay.

Personal possessions / cafe next door was to have building work, no-longer open as per other older posts, one is down the street is on the left 3-4mins away. I did not leave anything there so cannot say. Options are leave everything in the car, or use left luggage lockers at station or bring a friend and they hold on to it all or try cafe.

Entry into Embassy - as described elsewhere. Simple process, do not be afraid to tap on the visa window (not the entrance door - the queue system is set up deliberately so do not unlock ribbon and walk through etc.) if security are talking at the back because it is quiet. I arrived mid-afternoon and there had been a "rush" earlier so it is all about timing.

Medical records - sensible process outside door, sealed envelope has to be opened and contents pulled out sufficiently for guard to know there is no substance or other potential risk associated with what you are bringing into a secure environment.

Medical CD - Leave it at home ( for entry into USA).

Interview - Professional, friendly, respectful and understanding about all matters - personal, financial and situational.



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
