Consulate Review: Czech Republic Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : November 4, 2008 Embassy Review : I came to the U.S. Embassy in Prague, Czech Republic at 2:30 PM, my interview was scheduled for 3:00 PM. I went through the security check, the security guard took my cell phone and put it in the box. He gave me a badge and I could go to the consular section of the U.S.Embassy. I took a ticket from a kiosk and waited in the immigrant visa waiting room till my number appeared on the screen. The consul asked for my medical exam, he didn´t want to see the X-rays. Then I was told to give him my passport. The consul didn´t ask for other things cause I had already submitted all documents to the NVC. The consul went through the papers and told me to wait until my number appears on the screen once more. I waited about 10 mins and then I was called to the counter. I signed the DS-230 Part II, the consul took my fingerprints and asked me ONLY two questions: How many times have you been to the U.S.? Have you overstayed your visa? Then he told me I was approved. I spent only 45 mins at the U.S.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.

** Not all cases are transfered
