Landed at JFK 1.30pm EST, stood in the visitors line for about 5 minutes until the CBP office waved me forward, where I then gave him my sealed envelope. He opened it and stamped and signed everything, and then escorted me to secondary. He gave my papers to another gentleman who worked on it quitely for about 5 minutes and then said "Sandra, you're good to go" and left. Total time: about 10 minutes with 0 questions asked. |

| Embassy Review : |
My appointment was for 8.30 am, and I arrived at 7.50. I was first in line for the Immigration line, and the receptionist called me in shortly after. You show your passport through the window, and then they ask you to show the bottoms of your shoes. You then proceed to go through a metal detector and there's a spot for small things to be stored such as cellphones.
They then ask you to follow the yellow line on the ground which will take you to where your visa interview will be held. A guard will be at the door asking if you're there for a non-immigrant visa, while K-1 is one, it is not what you're there for. Say you're there for an immigration visa and you were told to go to window G. Once they let you in, you head over to window G where I was met with a lovely Swedish man who requested all of my documents. My birth certificate was in Swedish (Personbevis 120) so he told me to send the English version in ASAP. After that, I sat down for about 10 minutes before my name was called to window D. There was a rather young American man who swore me in and was going to conduct my interview. He made the whole thing so incredibly easy by actually being interested in what I had to say, and it felt like it was more of a conversation with a friend than a life-determining visa interview. The questions were:
How did you meet?
How does one meet on Instagram?
After talking online for a year, how was it seeing him in person for the first time?
What made you fall in love with him?
How often do you see each other?
What trip was your favorite trip the two of you have ever taken? (This led into my proposal)
How and where did he propose? (I was cracking jokes the entire time and he was very reciprocative)
What are the plans for when you head over?
Will your beach ceremony next year have both of your families present?
That was it. Nothing difficult, and he made fun of the fact that we met on IG and was overall an incredibly funny, easy person to talk. Before I knew it, he told me I was approved as long as I turn the birth certificate in before the deadline. He wished me luck, and I left the embassy at 8.15, 15 minutes before the schedules time for my interview. |

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
