Member Reviews:

Consulate Review: Switzerland Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : October 23, 2013 Embassy Review : When I arrived 20 minutes before Interviw there already was a bunch of people waiting. Due to profound security check it took quite a while and when I was inside, one of the security guard spotted my letter and guided me to a room where I met a member of the embassy staff. She took all my documents, checked if everything is complete. She then sent sent me to a waiting area until I was called up to a counter, where another official interviewd me. Whole process took approx 1.5 hrs. Those people were hoghly professional. Correct and polite. But I guess I would have been more comfortable if they would have smiled or small talked a bit. Overall quick and professional. 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.

** Not all cases are transfered
