Consulate Review: Korea Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : March 9, 2023 Embassy Review : Everything was polite and professional, as others have mentioned. The whole thing took about 2 hours, including having to go next door to the government office to get new family relation and marriage certificate forms because my ARC number was partially redacted in our original versions (Not sure why? Make sure yours have your full ARC number visible!). Luckily that was quick and we just had to run in and give them the forms. Here's the timeline of our visa and approval: 7:45 am Arrived and went to the second floor and waited to hand in documents (we brought everything we submitted to NVC) 8:00 am Gave them our docs 8:50 am Got called up and told about the forms we would need to go get (as I mentioned above) 9:15 am Had a short interview where they asked about where we met, when we got married, what my job was and why we were moving to the states - really quick, polite and easy, then they gave us back most of the docs we submitted 9:20 am We went out and got the family/marriage docs in the nearby gov building and came back and dropped them off The next day (today) our status on the CEAC site changed to "Visa Issued" - super fast! We're expecting to receive the visa in the mail tomorrow or the next day. All in all a smooth process and everyone at the embassy was nice and helpful. 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
