Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa
Event Description
Review Date : February 6, 2024
Embassy Review : I had my interview at US embassy in Jakarta today and I'm so glad everything went well.

I do think it's important to point out that the embassy does not allow anything with a battery inside. I thought I would be able to leave my backpack with a tablet in a locker but the security guard made it clear I had to find a different solution. So if you come, make sure you don't expect to bring anything inside other than your paperwork.

They took my phone at check-in and then I had to go to a separate building where I had to wait for my name to be called, which happened almost immediately.

At this point they scanned my fingerprints, confirmed some of the information and asked for paper copies of the marriage license and my criminal background check. The lady that I spoke to was kind and very helpful. She told me to sit and wait for my turn.

I waited for just over an hour by my calculation (there were no clocks on the walls, and phones are not allowed). While waiting I watched a few "welcome to the USA" videos they had playing on a big tv in the waiting area and I read over the pamphlet that I was given.

Finally they called my name and I had to hold up my right hand and swear to tell the truth. The consular officer asked a few questions about our marriage, when we had met, when we had last seen each other, where we had gone on honeymoon and what I planned to do in terms of work in the US. She also asked to see the pictures I had brought.

After about 10 mins she said "Congratulations, you have been approved"

I left, picked up my phone, checked out and went to get a celebratory lunch. All in all a very good experience but remember to leave your electronics at home
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
