Consulate Review: Islamabad, Pakistan Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : May 19, 2011 Embassy Review : OVerall positive No AP - (Female) Questions asked 1) Who is inviting you? (my husband) 2) How did you meet? blah blah 3) Do you have kids? No 4) When do you want to go/what will you do there? 5) Is your husband living? - my wife laughed at this and said YES Approved. You will get visa in up-to 2 weeks from Amex. My wife asked to get it earlier to travel back with her mother in law (my mother) but they said the quickest they could do it would be one week. So we'll see what happens. Didnt ask to look at anything. No documents, no pics, nothing. We were very thorough with everything sent to USCIS and NVC so that's probably why. (e.g. we followed all the advice of VJ) Guy before my wife was banned for lifetime as he seemed fishy and didnt have any documentation and could barely speak english yet he said he and his wife talked daily for 2 years in English. Lesson learned. Have your documents, dont lie, and have a valid case and all will be fine. Good luck to everyone! 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
