Consulate Review: Korea Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : January 16, 2015 Embassy Review : My fiancé was there at 7:30am. She was the first in line to get interviewed and she was in and out within one hour. The doors open at 8am and they apparently check your bags as if you were at the airport. After you get inside they checked my fiance's passport on the first floor. You have to surrender your cell phone. Then you go up to the 2nd floor and they check your passport again and put a barcode on it. You then go up to the 3rd floor and take a number. Since my fiancé was the first one there she was number 1. Then she waited until 8am when the office officially opened. At 8am they took her papers and she sat back down. After 30 minutes she was called for fingerprinting and then told to sit back down again. Another 30 minutes went by and she was called to the consul for her interview! It literally lasted less than 10 minutes with her just asking "Where is he from?" And "When did you meet him?" And "Where does he work?" And "When was the last time you saw him?" Very easy questions. She was out so fast the secueity guard asked her "You're done already?!" Apparently the interviewer was very nice. Thanks to this website we had the smoothest time getting our K1 approved. Just make sure all your papers in order and get there early and you'll be fine! Five stars! Rating : Very 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.
