Consulate Review: Jamaica Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : December 21, 2019 Embassy Review : ***DISCLAIMER THIS CASE WAS EXPEDITED*** We arrived to the Embassy for our interview at 645 for an 815 appointment. Were sectioned in to groups and provided the information on what is and is not allowed. We were not allowed to bring in a backpack, but women are allowed to carry a purse. So if you are carrying a purse you can carry something convenient enough to hold your documents. When we arrived to the second group our paperwork was reviewed and at that time we showed our appointment confirmation email stating that our appointment was on December 20th. Once they found our names on the list they scratched us off. We proceeded to security and in to one more line. At this time it must have been 700. Approached the lady at the counter with our documents and she asks for our interview letter. I handed out interview letter to the lady at the counter and begin trying to explain that my interview date was different from my AIS Visa site (I will include at the end of my post.) She noted that my husband’s interview letter was for January 6th at 800 and instructed us to proceed for interview processing!! We were super excited and then the waiting game began. 715 we make it to the seats for immigration processing and we’re finally called up for biometrics and civil document validation around 945am. Which reminds me, I honestly don’t understand why they tell you to bring copies of your documents and they never even take them. OUR TURN: CO: When did you meet? My Husband: 2008 CO: (puzzled look) Ok where? My Husband: At a Party Me: We met at a Christmas party (thinking to myself let me help my husband get through this because he was so nervous) CO proceeded to ask me two questions that I then answered. Turned to my husband and said: When did you do your medical? My husband then said December 16th. He asked my husband a question about our interview in February of this year when we were trying to get him to visit me. We both answered this question. He asked what’s his plans were once he arrived and once my husband answered the CO told my husband that once we got the medical results in his visa will be finally received in two weeks and that he has to leave before the expiration date and not on the day of or the day before. All that matters is that WE ARE APPROVED!!!! 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.

** Not all cases are transfered
