Consulate Review: Madrid, Spain Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : May 28, 2019 Embassy Review : I had my interview around 11:30 so I decided to go a bit in advance. When I arrive (around 11:00) the waiting room was completely full and the lady in the desk told me there were a lot of people before me. I waited until 12:15 until they allowed me to go inside the room and then waited over there for other 15 minutes. After it they took the original copies and the tax transcript for 2018. The interview took about 5 minutes and the only question was 'Tell me about your wife'. After it they said I was approved and that the password would arrive in 4 to 6 working days. Some tips: - You cannot bring any backpack to the interview, they won't allow you the entry to the Embassy. Also they keep your mobile phone in the entry with the security (they were super nice). - Expect a lot of people. It doesn't matter if you are doing the interview for the spouse visa since the consular officers are the same ones that do the paper work for the rest of visas. - Bring all the original copies and any document you coudln't upload to CEAC. - The appointment date is only an estimated time for the interview, expect an hour/hour and a half of delay. - Just be honest with the consular officer and you'll be fine. Rating : Very Good

POE Review: Houston Event Description Entry Date : 2019-05-26 Embassy Review : I was a bit afraid of Houston as POE since I read really bad reviews. The queue took about 30 minutes since there was not so many people and it was a Sunday. Once I got to the CBP officer he asked me about the IV Package that I didn't have since the case was electronic on CEAC. He asked me a couple of questions, took my fingerprints and a picture and then he closed the queue and walked me to the room they have for a second interview. There was only one person in the room before me so it was really quick, the CBP officer asked me a couple of questions about my wife and my occupation. The interview took like 5 minutes and they were super nice. After it he stamped the seal in my passport, explained me a couple of things and wished me good luck. Harassment Level : Low

*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.
