Consulate Review: Uzbekistan Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : October 9, 2012 Embassy Review : Wife had her interview today. Passed. She was very worried but she said that the experience was pretty painless. Had to wait for about two hours after arrival. Questions asked: When did you meet your husband? where did you two meet? how do you two communicate? when was the last time you saw each other? What does you husband do for a living? What is you husbands degree in? Where does he live? where are you going to live when you get to America? what do you do in Uzbekistan? What are you going to do when you get to America? Congrats... come back on Thursday foe you visa. The only thing she was missing was an english translation of her police report and she must bring that with her when she picks up her visa. javascript:emoticon('') 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.
