Consulate Review: Jamaica Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : August 17, 2009 Embassy Review : The interview was scheduled for 7:30am. We left Ocho Rios at about 5am. We got to Kingston at about 6:15am. My brother in law is a police in KingstoN so he knew the fast route. When we got to the embassy their are natives there trying to help out (for a fee) any way they can. They can take your passport pictures, hold your prohibited items, and even provide info of where you need to go. There were 2 lines. One for filings and the other for I130's. We got in the front door at about 6:45 and waited to go into the building. It took about 15mins. We were given a number but the numbers were not CALLED IN ORDER. They called hubby up tot the counter took his fingerprints and asked him who was filing for him. We needed to bring no info and they didnt ask him for anything but the medical and the passport. They asked him to sit and they would call him when ready. About 30 mins later and 7 people called before us they called him up. i went with him. the lady asked us to swear that all the info for truth that we have submitted and also what were going to say. we agreed. She asked when did we meet. Hubby was really nervous. He stated the exact date with year She laughed then as a surprise. She asked me to sit down. Then she asked him to pick up the phone and thats when the questions started. 1. How did you meet your wife? He told her about how he kicked my foot to start the conversation. She was really interested and wanted to know more.. I think for her own personal humor. 2. How many times has she been here to visit 3. Have you met her kids 4. How old are they 5. What do they like to do. Number 3, 4, and 5- The Kingston Embassy knew none of those answers but they wanted to see if he was going to sweat when they asked him. 6. Where does she work Then she said Congradulations your VISA has been APPROVED. Please go to the DHL window to set up your delivery options. Yipee We were out by 9am and back to OCHI Beware the visas dont come so quick. He pick the option to get it from Montego Bay. Our interview was on the 4th of August and the holiday was the 6th of August. So it took some extra time. The visa was there for pick up on Wednesday August 12, 2009. We left Montego Bay on Friday the 14th. American Airlines. 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.
