Consulate Review: Montreal, Canada Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : August 10, 2019 Embassy Review : I got there about 10 minutes ahead of time for my interview. Highly recommend getting a place within walking distance of the embassy. It might cost a little extra but the peace of mind is worth it especially considering the morning rush hour traffic. Waited a while in the seating area. The first appointment was for document verification/biometrics. The actual interview was about another hour or so later. The focus of the interview was completely about my wife and whether she had enough financial resources to support me. The fact that I had a six figure job offer already pending the outcome of the interview did not matter to the interviewer and actually worked to my disadvantage. The officer reasoned that it looked like my wife was "moving because of me and not because she wanted to". Had to provide her college/school transcripts, US bank statements, a lease agreement with her parents and (probably most importantly) a letter of employment from a US employer ( please note that it was only an offer. She did not end up accepting it but the fact that she had a job lined up to support us played a very important part). Was approved after about 10 to 15 minutes of questioning 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.
