Consulate Review: Islamabad, Pakistan Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : November 4, 2010 Embassy Review : Category: CR-1 I am writing this review but please keep in mind that I was not present and this is all second hand information according to what my wife said. The entire process took about 6 hours. Once she was inside she was in a large room with about 75-100 people. She was asked to come up several times to the various processing windows. She was nervous because you never know what the immigration officer may ask. My wife wasn't even aware that she had been asked the interview questions. When it was all done they give her the Passport and Visa along with a yellow package (not to be opened). They did not ask for any supplemental evidence to prove we were married. She had brought with her copies of the documents submitted to NVC/UCIS, marriage pictures, and money transfer receipts via Western Union. The interview questions asked were: 1. What my occupation is 2. How did we communicate during the period of time we were living in separate countries 3. How she met me 4. Why I came to United States (I was surprised that they asked this question) Background: We had met only once in person and that was prior to our marriage. I stayed in Afghanistan 2 weeks, got married and came back to the U.S.. From then on I could only communicate via telephone. 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
