Consulate Review: United Arab Emirates Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : January 25, 2021 Embassy Review : So here was my interview experience. - I reached at 7 15am. There were 3 people ahead of me. It was first come first serve and the guards were noting the order so come early if you want to finish early. In the next half hour at least a dozen other people had arrived. - They called us inside around 8 for the security check etc. then we sat in the waiting area till around 9 I think. - Did the fingerprint and submitted birth/marriage certificate and police certificate - In another 20 min or so number was called for interview with the consular officer, it was in the same area and the officer sat behind a screen, not a private room. He was friendly and polite and asked me this only: When did you first meet When did you get married Where did you get married When did your wife move to the US Is this your first marriage? Do you have any children? Where in the US does your wife live When do you plan to move to the US Why did you guys submit a joint sponsor when your wife's income is more than enough I was out of the embassy by 9 45. Overall it was a good experience, they were organized and polite. The key is to go early and you could be done in a couple of hours. 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.
