I joint the queue and my passport was stamped within 7 mins. Though was delayed by custom because I have a red hot pepper declared in my custom form. Due to that my bag was searched thoroughly. By and large It was an easy experience. |

| Embassy Review : |
I give God all the glory and adoration for making my interview a success, I so much trust in him because he has never let me down since I gave my life to him.
My interview date was August 5th, Got to the Embassy early enough, my appointment was 7am and we all went through security point orderly with all details announce as per how to arrange our entrance document.
I was in after all security checks at 7.45am. I was called by a lady on counter B17, at 8.05am she collected my documents including I-34' letter of employment, w24 etc
At 9.33am was called by a young American consular, and he asked the following questions
1 You petitioner is trying to call her name and I assisted him to call the name correctly
2 How do you meet her
3 What does she do
4 How long has she been in America
5 When las did you see her
6 In this going to be your first marriage
After all the question he gave me a pick up letter and circle where the address for pick is situated.
I am more than glad because the journey started last year September 17 and now it's over.
Advice
Pray very well for favor before God and men
Be confident
Trust in God that he has done it
Maintain 24/7 relationship with visa journey website on your country review.
Never be intimidated/oppressed by those that were denied right before you because your case is different from theirs.
Wish all that are yet to go for their interview all the best.

| Embassy Review : |
Dear all, got off the plane at 12.50pm and went through the blue line call visitors and non Americans . When it got to my turn I presented my brown envelop handed to me by the embassy. It took the consular and border protection staff just less than 5mins to open my envelop and stamped my visa page with a 3 months stay because it was a k1- fiancée visa. It's was a stress free experience but because I carried dry fish and hot dried pepper My luggages was subjected to thorough search and after that I was allowed to go and the journey of K1-visa expired and ended. Wish everyone at the starting stage on K1 to POE stage good luck in advance. Cheers |

*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.
