After I filed I-130, she travelled to the US on a visitor's visa (she had a 10 yr multiple entry already) on Feb 24th. The Immigration Officer asked her the following: IO: What is the purpose of your trip? W: Visiting relatives. IO: Who is the relative and where do they live? W: Relative is my husband and he lives in this city. IO: You have been here recently in Dec 2009? W: Yes. IO: Are you visiting for AOS? W: No, I plan to return after this trip. My wife was allowed in for 6 months!!! So she is with me now and hopefully by the time she returns, the file will have moved to the embassy for her to complete her formalities there. Processing Estimates/Stats : Your I-130 was approved in 56 days from your NOA1 date. Your interview took 246 days from your I-130 NOA1 date.

Consulate Review: Mumbai, India Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : October 21, 2010 Embassy Review : The interview was very straightforward. The entire process from entry into teh consualte to exit took about 3 hours from start to finish (inc interview). Minimum questions were asked like : 1) Who is sponsoring you? 2) How did you meet? 3) How did you decide to get married? What were the common interests etc? 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
