Try to be patient and hold tightly to your dream of being together. Yes, the process is slow, tedious and painstaking, but know that once you receive the N02, things REALLY move along pretty quickly. Bon chance à tous !! |

| Embassy Review : |
My fiancé had to travel to Paris from Lyon for his interview. He brought a copy of all the requested documents along with a copy of the entire 129-F application along with copies of photos and everything (we didn't want to take ANY chances!)
He arrived at the embassy early and I believe he was the first one to go in. Once inside he was given a ticket with a number and told to wait until his number was called.
Everything moved along well. He was called to 3 windows in total. He could see that they had our entire K-1 Visa application along with all our photos. He got the feeling that they were impressed with how organized our paperwork was. We had been super-thorough with completing the forms and with all the requested documentation. He felt that because of that the process moved ahead pretty smoothly.
When he got to the final window, for the actual interview, he said he couldn't believe they only had a few very easy questions for him. What a relief after all the practicing we'd done! We'd anticipated some difficult questions regarding the fact that I'd been married before, or maybe something about our age difference, which we had heard could present a "red flag" for them, but nothing was mentioned of any of those things.
So the interviewer told him right there on the spot that he'd be receiving the Visa in the mail shortly - wow! It was a very emotional moment after so many months of preparing, worrying, trying not to worry, reassuring one another that all would be fine, etc. All in all it took less than 2 hours. Wooooohoooooooo - we GOT it!!!!! |

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.
