Member Reviews:

Consulate Review: Vancouver, Canada Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : September 25, 2006 Embassy Review : The interview was surprisingly easy and hassle-free. So long as you have all of your paperwork in order, your visa should be processed on the same day. Bring your appointment letter and walk to the front of the line and give it to the guard. They will let you in immediately...and you will not have to wait in the long lines. 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.
