Consulate Review: Guangzhou, China Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : February 28, 2009 Embassy Review : My wife just recently had her interview. She said everything went very smoothly and they were very professional. She had a male interviewer, which I have heard helps a lot. The only thing that bothered me was that her interview was scheduled for 7:15, but it took her about 3 hours before she actually was interviewed. They scheduled far too many people for the same time slot. Scheduling could use a lot of work. Rating : 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
