| Embassy Review : |
Approved. Actual interview lasted about 4 minutes, most of which were spend looking at the documents. The only question was "How did you guys met and how have you maintained the relationship?". Did not request to see evidence (IMs, copies of airline confirmation, photographs, etc) of how we have maintained the relationship. We had all these documents we us, though.
Great experience, except for the waiting. Spent 4 hours at the consulate. We were 10th in line for the K1 visa interview because we stayed in the wrong line. (Interviewees should ask the guards the line for 7:15 appointment. K1 interviews are referred to as 7:15, the time interviewees are directed to arrive at the consulate, by the guards.
Consulate personnel (from the lady who reviewed the passport photograph before entering to the consular officer) were simply great. They were very polite (referred to us as Senhor/Senhora throughout) and professional.
Things to pay attention to: (1) Passport photograph MUST meet the specification requested unless they will ask you to take another one, (2) Take along with you proof of citizenship or green card. This is not included in the list to document provided by the consulate, but the document reviewers will ask for one, (3) last year's federal tax return and letter from employer. The second document reviewer and the consular officer looked at the dollar amount on both documents.
Best of luck to all waiting for their NOA2 and interviews. |

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
