Consulate Review: Islamabad, Pakistan Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : August 4, 2023 Embassy Review : My husband had his interview on Jun 5 2023. He said he was there for about 4 hours. He had 2 interviews that same day by 2 different agents. They asked him questions about his family, about my family, the age difference, my job and about my previous marriage. He was refused/administrative processing because he forgot to bring his passport and we had to upload the joint sponsor documents again. They handed him a 221g white paper. Then a few days after they interviewed me on the phone and asked me about my previous marriage, job aged difference and what was my family reaction to my husband’s age and his family reaction. We waited a few weeks and then on july 14th it said visa issued and he got his passport and visa shortly after. I was so nervous when they interviewed me on the phone and was scared that they would deny him because of me being so nervous. Overall I think his interview and the process was good. 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
