Consulate Review: London, United Kingdom Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : December 6, 2005 Embassy Review : The worst part of the interview was the 1 hour queue outisde the embassy waiting to get in! The interview itself was easy peasey. They just asked for the paperwork required. They didnt ask for any proof of relationship what so ever!! So as long as you have your paperwork in order everything should be fine. Rating : Very Good

POE Review: Newark Event Description Entry Date : 2006-02-10 Embassy Review : Was a piece of cake!!! Harassment Level : Low

Local US CIS Office Review: Memphis TN Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : February 13, 2007 Embassy Review : He said upfront I have good and bad news... Good news is that I can proceed with your interview and the bad news is that they are still waiting on Paul's FBI check. Which I kinda expected. Anyways he continued with the interview which was nothing much to it. He just made a bunch of checks and scribbles and asked a few things and asked for the deed to our house and copy of my birth certificate and took Paul's I94 out of his passport and put all that into his folder and he said they would notify us when the FBI clearence came thru and when they have made a decision about our case...whatever that means!! We wasn't told that we was approved at the interview what so ever the guy was just a jerk about it all to be honest. He did say all of our paperwork was excellent and he didn't need anything thing else to put in the file other than the things I mentioned above. I was like uhhh you dont need to see our wedding pictures or anything along those lines? He said nope I have everything I need! I was like OK, and I then questioned him about him pulling Paul's I94 from his passport and us traveling back to England next month and would that be a problem. He was trying to tell us if he left the country that Paul would be denied, and I about burst into tears and I was like uhhh sir we have a AP!! He said that didnt matter that if Paul's approval came thru while we was out of the country that Paul would be denied on the AOS! I was like WTF??? I said OK then why buy the AP then? He then asked when exactly was we traveling and I told him March 23rd- April 1st and he said if the approval came thru during that time he would hold it until after April 1st for us. So I dunno wtf all that means at all!! I asked does that mean we are approved and he said no that means once we get the FBI check back that we will let you know of our decision at that time! So to make a long story short... The interviewer wouldn't tell us if we was approved. He said that once he got the FBI name check back he would make a decision on our case at that time. Harassment Level : Very Poor

*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.
