Consulate Review: Tokyo, Japan Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : August 15, 2019 Embassy Review : I didn't go with her myself and I've left Japan, only my wife went to the interview, and I can only post review based on what she told me. Long story short, the visa is approved after some extra waiting. The question asked on the interview was pretty short, 彼といつ会ったの？ 彼とどうやって知り合ったの？ なぜ彼にしたの？ 彼の仕事は？ She was really really bad in English, she told me after she answered the first question(based on translation, it's just where did we met?"), and she can't answer in English anymore, started conversation in Japanese. We've submitted all documents under her maiden name, she then changed her name a month before the interview, she has my married name right now, and still gets approved for the visa, and interviewer added the her maiden name as middle name on visa based on what she told me. Overall I feel like it was much easier than I thought, based on what she told me. It's Japan, how hard can they be? (updated on August 15, 2019) 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
