Consulate Review: Costa Rica

| Embassy Review : |
We arrived an hour early for my fiance's appointment, so we decided to wait across the street in a strip mall until the time got closer. We went in 15 minutes early and were directed to take a number for the K visas and to wait in chairs outside with other petitioners/beneficiaries. Around noon, we were allowed in to the building for the interviews. The process went smoothly, mainly because we had all of our forms filled out correctly and in the correct order (thank you, visajourney!). The first secretary to take our papers was friendly enough, and asked us how we met, where, and what I thought of my fiance at first. She asked about our wedding plans and where he would be living. The cashier was late coming back from lunch, so we had to wait another 20 minutes or so for her to come back and to pay the visa fee before finishing with the first interview with the cashier. Then, we waited again for the interview with the CO. He was super friendly, and asked us a lot of the same questions the first woman had asked us. He said that the visa was approved and that they would call in about a week to pick it up. We were super relieved to hear this news. They called him a couple days later to come back to the embassy, and we were both nervous since they did not say it was to pick up the visa. Turns out, they had been having problems with their system, and when he was sworn in for the interview with the CO, his fingerprint verification hadn't saved. All he had to do was reaffirm that everything said and submitted was true to the best of his knowledge, and that they would call soon for him to pick up the packet. The second CO was a woman who did not speak very good spanish, so she might have been new. Overall the process was painless, just a lot of waiting and nervousness. If you have all of the forms and they are filled out CORRECTLY, there's really nothing to worry about. |

*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.
