Consulate Review: Islamabad, Pakistan Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : July 26, 2009 Embassy Review : My husband's interview was on July 16, 2009 at 8:00AM..I attended the interview with him and as expected we are on AP. Arrived at DSS around 6:15am..took the shuttle to the diplomatic enclave around 7:05 and got to the US embassy at 7:40. My husband was asked to get his passport pics scanned before finger printing. Our interview was at window 2, CO was a female, she asked my husband ONLY three questions: when did you get married? Do you have any children? Have you ever been out of the country? Then she asked my husband if she could keep the passport? To which he said YES!! Later this is what she said, "your case has been approved, but we have to do some office work and it will take 2-3 months" and pulled out the blue/green slip and handed it over to us. She didn't ask me anything at all and didn't look at any documents.. I had half a suitcase of evidence of relationship from our 4 and half years of marriage but she didn't ask for anything at all. I asked her if 2-3 months was minimum or maximum for us.. she smiled and replied back "2-3 months is minimum and 2 years is maximum but dun worry it won't take THAT long" I have no idea what to make out of it except that hopefully it will be sooner than later. This was it.. CO was nice and smiling all the time but AP is just killing us.. I guess we just continue to wait.. DOS journey starts now.. :-( Rating : Not Rated

*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.
