Consulate Review: Cambodia Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : March 11, 2019 Embassy Review : I accompanied my husband to his interview today and it was a success! The CO asked me (the UCS) all the questions and only asked my husband 1 question “where is your family from.” It was such a surprise because we were both ready for the loads of challenging questions since we failed the fiancé visa in 2017. Surprisingly, it was all general questions ( a lot of questions though) towards me which I of course know the answer to. Some questions I remember in no particular order: Where are you from? What do you do? Oh you made ‘blank’ amount last year? Who paid for the wedding? All your family from America came to the wedding? Your mom and dad came to the wedding? How did you guys meet? Who introduced you? Are you guys related? Oh you came to visit your husband 3 times after the visa rejection in 2017? Who funded it? How much was your husbands ring? Did you buy it here in Cambodia or in America? Oh you went to Thailand for your honeymoon? You guys got married right after the rejection? When’s your wedding date? Can you speak khmer? (I answered in khmer “what do you want me to say) I want you to talk to your husband in khmer (I turned to my husband, smiled and just said in khmer that he want us to speak khmer to each other) He also took a few pictures from us traveling together and asked about it but nothing major. He said we organized our documents very well and I told him we failed last time because we didn’t have all the right supporting documents and that I didn’t want to make the same mistake. He just smiled. I honestly felt like my presence there helped a lot. It took the focus away from my husband. He went to the fiancé visa by himself back in 2017 and it was not as pleasant as this one. So we came prepared to get grilled but it was the total opposite. Me and my husband joke and say this was actually my interview and not his. And although we are picking up our visa in 3 weeks, we are not complaining 😁😁 because this actually felt more like a friend trying to get to know our relationship rather than interview and we are so grateful to have this joyful experience as he was joking with me through most of it. 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.
