Consulate Review: Mumbai, India Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : August 25, 2009 Embassy Review : Hi All, Thanks to all of you my VJ buddies for all your help and prayers. Yesterday my wife successfully completed her interview and got approved. She also received the passport and Visa on the same day in the evening. Experience at the Mumbai US Embassy was excellent for her. People there were very friendly. She went in around 7:30am and came out around 12:00pm. Interview lasted around 10 minutes. Below are the questions she was asked: 1. Who sponsored your husband? 2. WHere does your husband work? 3. Where does your husband leave and who else leave with him? 4. What vehicle does your husband drive to work? 5. How is the nature of your mother in law? 6. Can I see the album? Congratulations! You have the visa , please pick it up at the VFS office in the evening. Once again thanks to you all for this fast and successful process completion. God bless you all and good luck. 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.
