Consulate Review: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : February 15, 2021 Embassy Review : Overall great experience. My wife did the interview entirely in English and all the questions were about me and my family. How do you meet? How did your husband proposed to you? What does my parents parents do? What do you guys argue about most? What do my siblings do? How many times have we met in person? What my job is and where is it located? She couldn't remember all the questions but as you can see it pays to know everything about your spouse. The interviewer went through the questions very quick and didn't even look at any of the evidence that my wife brought with her in a binder. She arrived at the consulate at 7:30am, waited in line for 30 minutes, and then went through the various windows that previous VJer's have explained. Interview lasted less than 10 minutes and they took her passport and said it will be mailed to her. Finished at the consulate by 10:30am. Interview was on a Monday and she received her visa by Saturday. Good luck to everyone going through the process. 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.
