Consulate Review: Sweden Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : September 24, 2013 Embassy Review : I arrived early and I was the only person in the immigrant visa line. They started letting people in after 8; I entered, sat, and waited in the waiting room. After 15 minutes someone called me and she asked few questions like how my fiance and I have met and how old my fiance is and other simple questions like those. She also asked me to write my address and put stamps on an envelope she gave me for my passport return. She told me to sit and wait as someone else wanted to interview me too. So I waited for 30 more minutes and then they called my name. Another woman interviewed me and asked similar questions and also about my education and majors I've studied. It took about 10 minutes. Then she told me my documents are not complete; there was a tax return missing from my I-134 form and also she said I need to send them a CV, which wasn't in the original requirements. They kept my passport anyway. After two days I completed my documents and sent them by email and then they said my case needs administrative processing and it might take few weeks....and I'm still waiting for an answer after 45 days. Despite the unexpected last part, the whole experience at the embassy was positive. The staff were friendly and there wasn't any problem. Rating : 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.
