Member Reviews:

Consulate Review: Guayaquil, Ecuador
Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa
Event Description
Review Date : November 20, 2008
Embassy Review : All went well; undoubtedly the advice given regarding the REQUIRED presence of the U.S. citizen at the interview was INDISPENSIBLE for our excellent outcome. A well-labeled packet of photos seemed to be very beneficial. Detailed records regarding telephone calls and a transcribed file of text messages and emails were reviewed carefully and benefited our case, without a doubt. But, as noted elsewhere on this forum, they won't look at your phone records if the U.S. citizen is not present at the first contact interview.
Rating : Very Good


POE Review: Miami
Event Description
Entry Date : 2008-10-04
Embassy Review : It went OK. No problems, just slow. She was in the office for 3 hours . . . just sitting, . . . waiting. She said she had to go to the bathroom really bad, but didn't want to lose her place in the line by being out of the room when they called her name. Also her cell phone (PORTA pre-paid) didn't get a signal in the U.S., which was unexpected--so we couldn't communicate at all, which was frustrating for me.
Harassment Level : Low

*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
