Hi everyone. B-)

I had my interview for my K-1 visa Wednesday.

Everything was good. Employees very friendly and my interview was well.

She smiled and said : "if everything goes well, you will receive your Visa between 7 and 10 days". :P

What do you think they do during this time? Are they looking the forms? Are they talking.... Or at this time their decision is already ok?

To be honest, i'm stressed out...

Why they don't say : congratulations, you have your Visa.... :wow:

thank you everyone.

I think they process hundreds - thousands of visas per week and it takes time to organize the file for your POE and print off your visa. It just takes time

Good luck

it seems in Paris they always say the same. I think it's a good sign if they said you'll get your visa in 7 to 10 days, I'd say it means you got approved.

I had ly interview a Wednesday too and my visa arrived the next Saturday. My guess for the time delay, it has to do with whether or not they have time to process it by the end of the week or maybe, they pick random cases to do a re-check that slows the delivery of the visa.

Good luck on your journey

Ok, thanks...

But what about the form I-134? For you, they don't look at all the stuff between the interview and the Visa in the mail.

So when are they looking at all the forms? :thumbs:

my guess is you waited between the time when you gave your documents to the 2nd window and your interview with the consul at the 3rd window. They look at your file before calling you for the interview with the consul.

It's not unheard of that there may be some last minute AP but normally, your passport is just in a queue waiting for them to process the visa, insert it into the passport and send that off to you.

If they kepy your passport, then your probably 99.9% assured you'll get it. Relax and think about packing your bags.
