Wonderful POE at Queenston-Lewiston for a K1 visa. CBP officer chatted with us after calling us up, went through our packet and even asked questions about our photos and letters. Mostly small talk taking no more than 30 minutes. Very pleasant border POE experience! |

| Embassy Review : |
We followed all of the guides and stayed around the corner from the consulate at Le Square Phillips. Very nice rooms and was <5 minute walk to the consulate the morning of our interview. We arrived at 0630 and were the first, maybe 5 minutes later two other folks joined us. We were standing on the left, and for a brief bit the line split in two, but eventually they all came back to our side 
Like clockwork they turned the lights on at 0730 and we were the first into security, verifying our Loomis information / passport getting a sticker, and we went through the checkpoint. The maps are pretty accurate, we went down stairs to our left, then found our way to the chairs by the elevator. Only 6 folks at this time! Once inside the elevator, at 0800 on the nose, we moved to the back left and faced the opposing set of doors. Only one other person realized which way to face.
You can follow the tiny yellow arrows on the floor around to the left to the sign which says to wait for 14A/14B for your number. We waited about 5 minutes with nobody at the window when C1 was called overhead...so another gentleman went and told them nobody was handing out tickets! At ~08:10 we got the coveted C1 ticket and went to Window 1.....only to find that computer wouldn't complete a K1 case. This is what happens to a software engineer.
The lady asked us to meet her at Window 6, where she completed checking our paperwork and took Allanah's fingerprints. Then at about 08:40 we finished this bit up and waited on our interview. The interview took about 5 minutes in total, mostly small talk after Allanah read the oath, and then we received the Welcome to the United States letter!
When we walked outside, the church bells were ringing 0900. |

*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.
