Consulate Review: Malaysia Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : October 15, 2011 Embassy Review : The interview went very smoothly. I went to the consulate with my mum but she had to wait outside for me. We got there at 8am and got passes at 8.30 and entered at about 9.15am and handed in my documents at 10am. I brought a small album full of photos but since it couldn't fit under the window, the lady told me to hang on to it until my actual interview and to show the officer the photos. We hung out at KLCC and went back at 1.15pm and waited till 2pm for the interview. My fingerprints were taken first and then after a while I was called to the window. My interviewing officer was a chinese-american guy and he was very polite and kind. He asked me basic questions, like what does my fiance do for a living, where he works, and what is his date of birth. It was very brief. I offered to give him the photos but he declined. He didn't need to look at them because it seemed like he had made up his mind. He stamped my forms and passport and told me I was approved and told me to wait for further instructions. I was then instructed by the indian lady at the first window to pick up my passport after 3 days. I later found out that it was actually ready the very next day. I got my passport at wisma MCA on friday 29th July and flew to US on sunday 31st July. 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.
