Consulate Review: Cameroon Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : November 26, 2012 Embassy Review : Questions asked: Who filed for you? Have you ever been married? How many times has your wife been to Cameroon? Where is she from? Where does she live now? Where does she work? Overall it wasnt a bad experience. He said some security guys warned him of a guy inside the embassy that was tough on giving visas & he ended up with that guy. We got the visa after submitting additional paperwork. Rating : Moderate

*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
