Consulate Review: Armenia Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : December 18, 2015 Embassy Review : Her appointment was at 1:30pm and she was there at 12:30pm. They didn't let her in until 1:15pm so don't go too early especially if it's cold like this. Anyways she called me 3 hours later and that's because she was the last person to have the interview. At first she gave in all her paperwork and then waited until they call her for the interview. The questions they asked were basically..... "What does your fiance do for living?" "How and when did you guys meet?" "Have you met his parents?" "Does he go to school?" and since we were denied the first time, they asked her do you know why you got denied the first time? to which she responded, "yes because we hadn't met the requirement of meeting in the past 2 years." After that the C.O. said the magical phrase I am going to go ahead and APPROVE YOUR VISA. They said you will get your visa in hand in 5 days but don't make any travel arrangements because it might take 7 days instead of 5. So I want to thank all the people in VJ for helping us toward this hard and frustrating journey. You guys made the impossible possible for us. 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.
