Consulate Review: Islamabad, Pakistan Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : April 18, 2013 Embassy Review : Today I had my interview at US embassy Islamabad. CO didn't ask many questions. He asked only few questions and looked at our Son's Birth certificate. He asked Has your wife ever been to Pakistan? Is this your first marriage? Have you ever been arrested for any crime? Have you ever been to any other country? that's it. He refused to look at the pictures too. He didn't request for anymore documents either. He said at the end that your case is fine. We have to do extra Administrative Processing on your case and it can take couple months :o He gave me a green slip. Rating : Moderate

POE Review: Chicago Event Description Entry Date : 2013/10/06 Embassy Review : Entry was very easy, but the line was very slow. No problems at all getting through when it was my turn. Harassment Level : Low

*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
