Consulate Review: Bucharest, Romania Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : November 28, 2023 Embassy Review : The interview appointment lasted around 20-40 minutes as the lady clerks had every applicant came up front and hand over the documents for consular review. After document handling I had waited around 6-7 minutes until the lady consul called me over for the interview. There were hardly any questions received, as the consul just made notes about the case (how did we meet, if he visited Romania and where are we going to live together). I had a 1-year J-1 intenship with home presence requirement for which I had obtained a waiver in advance. The consul was pleased, almost surprised I had this document. She then shortly after said she was convinced by the evidence and intends to approve. Took my passport and wished me a pleasant journey! The worst part came with delivery as the Embassy recently changed from FedEx to local FAN Courier. The Embassy provided the new courier with my passport the next day and issued me a tracking number. I had no movement on it for about 2-3 days, not even scanned in the system as received. I had to contact the third party firm which deals with expeditions to make it urgent as I was leaving to the US in a few days and got it right after the weekend. Better to send it to a Fan Courier location for pick-up or if in Bucharest, just request to pick it up yourself from the Embassy. 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.
