Member Reviews:

Consulate Review: Ukraine Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : January 6, 2006 Embassy Review : Lyuda was very impressed by the kindness and courtesy of the embassy staff. She did have to wait an hour before the interview. The interview was brief and she was asked how many times had I been to visit her and about her visit to the US in 98'. The Visa was approved and she was estatic. I had e-mailed and called the embassy on many ocassions and found the staff to be friendly and helpful. Furtermore, everything moved swiftly once my paperwork reached the Kiev Embassy. Myself and Lyuda were quite please with our entire experience. Rating : Very Good

POE Review: Event Description Entry Date : 2006-01-19 Embassy Review : POE Las VegaS Harassment Level : Low

Local US CIS Office Review: Las Vegas NV Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : November 17, 2006 Embassy Review : Bogus opperation. They delayed us 5 months because the office scheduled initial interviews without ordering the A-file from Missouri. Finally approved after 9 months and a dozen headaches. 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.
