Consulate Review: Ghana Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : May 4, 2014 Embassy Review : I wasn't able to attend the interview but from what I gathered, it wouldn't have mattered either way. Also, we had 3 weeks notice before the interview which made it impossible for me to take that time off of work. But I heard everything went really quickly, everyone was pleasant and the woman who interviewed her was very kind & friendly. The questions were the following: Where did you meet? When did you meet? When was his last visit? When was his first visit? So you met his family online too? Why did you decide to marry in the US and not in Ghana? What work does he do? The Visa Officer seemed impressed with the communications between my fiance and my mother and sister. We often spoke on Google Hangout and we took screenshots of our video chats. I also visited 3 times throughout the course of the year spending close to 2 months going sight seeing all around Ghana. As far as gathering evidence, I basically followed the guidelines from visa journey. The Visa officer then gave her a Blue slip and told her that her visa will be ready next Friday. Our CEAC status was updated within 2 business days to "Issued" and she received her visa the following Friday. She was given back her passport (w/fiancee visa inside) & told to keep the additional packet sealed and save it for her port of entry to the United States. Rating : Very Good

POE Review: JFK Event Description Entry Date : 2014-05-15 Embassy Review : She was in and out in an hour. She arrived 5 am on a Thursday morning and there wasn't much of a line either. She said everyone was courteous & professional. Harassment Level : Low

*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.
