Consulate Review: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : March 9, 2014 Embassy Review : My fiance had her interview on February 24th and she was approved. I believe that the CO already has made the decision before the interview, because the CO only asked 3 questions...What is your fiance's name? When did you meet your Fiance? and What is his favorite football team? The last question was because my fiance was wearing a Seahawks shirt!! She was given a receipt to turn in at the EMS desk and had to pay for the shipping for her passport to be mailed to her. Her visa was issued on February 28th and she received it in the mail on March 6th. We were both so relieved and grateful that the interview went so smoothly Rating : Very Good

*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.

** Not all cases are transfered
