Consulate Review: Trinidad & Tobago Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa
Event	Description
Review Date :	July 19, 2019
Embassy Review :	First thing to note when you get to the embassy is that there is NO PHONE ALLOWED INSIDE THE EMBASSY! Upon arrival to the embassy you will form a single file line and will be call account to the current appointment time which is being dealt with. A person of the embassy will then ask for your appointment letter and your passport and then direct you to the immigrant visa line outside the embassy. On entry you will be screened by the security officers on duty and will be directed to the reception desk for them to check you in. They will ask for the appointment letter and passport, take the relevant information and give it back to you along with a brown folder for you to insert all the required documents originals and ask to be seated on the blue chairs.. After a little wait someone in the room from windows 1-5 will announce your name and which window you will need to go to where the person will review the original documents you placed in the brown folder for verification of what was submitted on CEAC and what is presented to them. You will then be asked again to have a seat on the blue chairs for another wait to be called again in the same room but this time by the consular officer for you interview. Upon completion you will be given a letter with the decision that was made on your case and information of how your passport will be returned to you. My overall experience was great no hiccups, consular officer made me feel comfortable and he was friendly. He congratulated me and told me we are completed and to have a great stay in the U.S. ðŸ™‚. Good luck, I pray all has smooth sailing...

Hi I see we're from the same country! I'm here in NYC and my husband is in Trinidad!

Yes, that what made me follow you as we're going to being be with the same consulate and we will have a fair idea of what we're going to be dealing with. I'm in Trinidad and my husband is in NYC.

My husband actually went to the US embassy last month to renew our daughter's passport and he asked a couple questions about the process. They told him it won't be long to get an appointment and they schedule immigrant visas before non immigrant visas. Also if you're missing somethings they allow you to DHL the doce back to them.. They're really accommodating. Hardest part is USCIS we already passed.
