Hello there, I am a newbie here, I just want to know how Hong Kong consulates process CR1/IR1. Is the consulate easy to handle with or stressful one? Anybody who has an idea? I am going thru HK consulate.

From everything I've read, It's the place to be. You can even be at the interview with your SO.

Welcome to CFL. Based on your timeline, you may be here for only a short period of time. There are a handful of members who processed through Hong Kong, and they should be able to shed some light on the process. Don't hold me to this, but I seem to recall that the USC might even be able to attend the interview.

 

As far as a stressful process, I would bet my last dollar that it's a lot less stressful than going through Guangzhou, particularly when you consider the efficiency that is often exhibited by the Hong Kong consulate.

 

Good luck.

Actaully I am just a work based and residing here in HK, I am from the Philippines, we are abandoning our I-129F since it will be processed in the Philippines.I learned that this embassy is full of stress and has a slow process. My USC husband decided to go with our I-130 since it wil be processed here in HK.
