Consulate Review: Argentina Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : July 31, 2014 Embassy Review : The interview was a very good experience. My wife and I arrived to the embassy 30 minutes before the appointment and they let us in right away. There were 3 people ahead of us so we had to wait. We were called to window 5 and they asked for my passport, DHL sheet and medical results. They didn't give me any green folder, but that wasn't a problem at all. The lady that took all our papers was really nice and friendly. After 40 minutes, the consul called us back to window 5 and we had the actual interview. It was short and very nice. She only asked us a few questions: 1) If we live in Argentina together. 2) How long we've been together. 3) How we met. 4) When was the last time I(applicant) went to the US. After that she said that the visa was approved and told us about the fee we have to pay for my green card. She also mentioned the system issue they were having and asked us not to book any flight because they didn't know when they were gonna be able to print the visa on my passport. 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
