Consulate Review: Georgia Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : February 7, 2016 Embassy Review : 10am appointment as always we arrived like 2 hours early and waiting in McDonald's, when the time came for me to go in I was called forward about 3 times over the period of about 3 hours. Each time they asked the same questions, why are you processing through Georgia and not London? Do you have a residency card in Tbilisi, Do you have a military ID? They basically reviewed all the documents but kept asking for a military ID. I have never served so do not have an ID! At the end they declined my visa on the grounds of a damaged passport. (There was a crease in the corner and the embassy lady claimed it damaged the security features but it worked perfectly). Rating : 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
