Consulate Review: Jamaica Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : September 30, 2007 Embassy Review : The whole process took less than two hours. We gave the security guard our name and we were immediately allowed into the building. At the main entrance; we provided the reception with our interview letter and showed him a copy of the 4 passport side photos. We were told to go to the prescreening section (Section A) to wait until our name is called. This took about 20 -25 minutes. At this section David had to give the 4 photos and show the rep his passport. Then we move to section B. This is where the beneficiary is finger printed. This took may be 15 minutes. Then we move to section C. We were called up after about 20 minutes. We were asked to raised our right hands and swear that everything listed in the documents that had been provide to the US embassy was correct. From there the interviewer asks us how we met. She asked David how many time had he been to the US and when? She asked to see my passport. She already had David's passport. David passport had an additional US stamp that was not one of the dates he had told her. At that moment I remembered that while he was in the US visiting me last fall we went on a short cruise to the Bahamas. My passport was not stamped but David as a non US citizen had to go thru immigration when we got back. We told her about the cruise. She then told David that his visitor visa would be canceled since he was getting the spouse visa. She asked me a couple questions about metro Atlanta area where I live that had nothing to do with the visa just tourist type stuff. The rep was very polite and personable. When we were walking out my husband said "I know we are not done???" I was like yes we ARE DONE!!! This process has taken us exactly nine months. I definitely wish it had gone a little faster but I have read all the timelines and therefore truly thankful for being at the end of this journey in 9 months. Jenice 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.
