Consulate Review: Tanzania Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : April 25, 2011 Embassy Review : My wifes interview only took about 2 hours for the entire process to complete. I was not allowed to sit in for her actual interview which lasted in less than 30 min but was later called in to handle some information the office needed for her paperwork, at the end of the interview. According to my wife, the interview was very casual and was centered around confirming weather the information we had provided during the intire process and the accompanied documents were correct. When I asked her how she wouold rank the overall interview experiance she said it was "Excellent" 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
