Consulate Review: Madrid, Spain Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : November 8, 2020 Embassy Review : HEY ELECTION DAY INTERVIEW!! We got to the Embassy twenty minutes early and we took a picture of my husband outside by the United States Embassy Sign, and were promptly told to show the security guards the photo. They saw it and it was all OK but It didn't occur to me about not taking photos. They were very kind.We checked in with men at the front gate, and then moved through the metal detector. (They will keep your purse/bag and your cell phone (which must be turned off) Walked into the actual building and the woman let us through into the waiting room. We waited about 30 mins and he was called to the DMV style window (you do not go into a room, it's all done in the open main room). Here were the questions: -How did you meet? -When did you begin dating -How long have you lived together -Have you (immigrant) ever lived outside of Spain? -What was the date of your marriage? -Why did you decide to get married on that date? -Does American spouse have brothers/sisters (where do they live?) They didn't ask for tax info or photos that we printed off. It was very quick. Everything took 1 hour total. (15 mins of actual interview + 45 mins of security and waiting for them to enter information into the computer) He was NOT issued the visa since the medical information was not sent to the embassy (although he had done the tests a week prior) During COVID the medical results are sent electronically to the embassy. 2 days later, the CEAC showed REFUSED, then the next day ISSUED. We have received the email that we will be receing the VISA tomorrow (11/8/2020) Great Experience. 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.
