Consulate Review: Tokyo, Japan Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : October 7, 2020 Embassy Review : Due to Covid19, the embassy only allowed people to enter if they arrive 15 mins before their appointment. I came inside and there were already 6 people waiting for the interview before me. The documents checking and fingerprints didn't take that long, 30 mins after I arrived there those are done. I submitted the I-864, but the officer returned it to me and said it is not necessary as I already submitted online. Waiting for the interview which take longer than I thought. There are two CO who doing the interview. And after 1,5 hours waiting they called my number. She hand me back the original marriage certificate and birth certificate. Questions that she asked : 1. How & where did you two met? 2. How do you communicate after he went back to the US and have long distance? 3. Where and how was the wedding? 4. Did you ever met his family? 5. Where will you live in the US? 6. Why did I came and live to Japan? The interview was not that long and in the end she said everything looks good and I got approved. She took my current passport and two of my old passports, and she said she will return it all together once the embassy issue the visa. 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.
