Consulate Review: France Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : July 20, 2020 Embassy Review : My CR-1 interview at the Paris, France embassy took place on the 20th of July 2020 at 9:00 A.M. I arrived at 8:45 A.M, but was only able to go through the security gate/screening at 9:00 A.M. I had to wear a mask. They check your bag and pockets, you cannot bring a laptop, food or drinks. You have to leave your cell phone turned off with the security staff. Afterwards, I was asked to give my passport, my police certificate, my interview letter and my DS-260 confirmation. It was just so I could give those documents to the next person inside the embassy. When I got in, I sat in a room with 20+ booths were you will get called to speak to the embassy staff. I almost did not wait and was called by an employee of the embassy. The woman asked me for my passport, my police certificate, my interview letter and my DS-260 confirmation as well as my photograph, my birth certificate and my mariage certificate. She gave me some explanations about the next steps and my entry in the U.S. She also took my finger prints. After that I was asked to sit down and wait for the Consular Officer. He called me and asked me to swear that I will say the truth. He asked me 5 or 6 questions: - How did you meet? - What kind of work to you plan on doing when arriving in the U.S? - When and where did you get married? - Where do you live right now? - Where will you live in the U.S? The interview lasted about 5 minutes. At the end he told me that I was approved and welcomed me in the U.S. He also said that I will only receive my passport in the mail, the packet/enveloppe is not used anymore, the information are sent directly electronically to the POEs. The send the passports back on Thursdays through UPS, so I should get my passport back approximatively within 4 or 5 business days. Then i exited the embassy and got my cell phone back. My whole visit lasted 45 minutes (9:00 A.M till 9:45 A.M). Rating : 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
