Consulate Review: Armenia Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : November 4, 2015 Embassy Review : I'm writing from my fiance's experience with his interview. I came to Armenia to be with him for his interview for moral support and just in case they wanted to meet me too (also, we missed each other so much and had to be together). The interview itself was short. The beginning the officer spoke Persian to him but then switched to English and was talking really fast. This was difficult for him as his ear is more attuned to my ear and my way of speaking to him (in English). So a translator was called in and there were many questions on how we could be in love when your English is not good! Also, he saw all the call logs I had printed out that showed the duration of our calls. Of course, my fiance told him I was outside waiting too. After a long time explaining and explaining to him the officer finally understood and his tone changed to more relaxed. He said he was approved and to give him his passport and come pick up his visa in two days. We went there to pick it up two days later (on a Friday), but they said it was not ready. This made us very nervous. They said come back Tuesday but we had flights leaving Sunday to go back home! I made arrangements for my fiance to stay longer at the hotel and I flew back to USA. We were a nervous wreck all weekend and could only think the worse. We decided to not worry/think about this topic on our last day together so we could enjoy ourselves (in which we did). The following Wednesday he got his visa and everything was perfect. Rating : 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.
