Consulate Review: Nigeria Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : February 8, 2023 Embassy Review : Wife arrived at the Consulate at 5am for her 7am appointment. Waited in line, went through security, did biometrics and submitted documents. Then sat and waited a little over an hour to be called to the window. She was called up by a pleasant man at window 21. -He asked how she was doing today with a smile -He asked how we met. - She answered a dating site -He asked if she had ever been arrested - No -He asked if she has ever applied for a visa before. - No -He asked when I first visited and how many times after. - 3 times -He asked how old I am, and how old is she. - 47 & 33 -He asked if that is a problem for her. - She says no that is how I like it. -He took a quick look at the pictures -He said you are approved. My wife says the interview only lasted a couple of minutes. 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
