Consulate Review: Peru Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : March 26, 2015 Embassy Review : My wife went in for her interview this morning. She arrived at the Embassy in Lima around 5:45am and her interview appointment was for 8:15am - she was the first in line. She told me that the interview was a formality of everything we had turned in and done so far in the application process. The first step was meeting with the CSO who was young lady who treated my wife very well. She asked a few questions then asked me wife to take a seat. Then her name was called again by the second CSO who asked some of the same questions plus more, for example: Who is your husband's best friend? Can you point him out in the pictures you gave me? Where does he work? What does he do? Who is his boss? When and where did you first meet? Etc., etc. I would like to point out that there have been people who have posted on VJ that said the Consulate in Lima prefers to see the petitioner at the interview, but it wasn't so for our case. I'm glad because the tickets were expensive since it's around the same time as Spring Break here in the States! To make a long story short, she was approved in about 30 minutes! We are both so happy and give thanks to the Lord for all He has given us. 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.
