Consulate Review: Seoul Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : October 12, 2006 Embassy Review : Rating : Very Good

Local US CIS Office Review: San Jose CA Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : January 18, 2007 Embassy Review : The interview went very smoothly. It just entailed a thorough check of our application packet and a few questions regarding our life in the US. Be sure to take a copy of everything you've sent to USCIS in case they are missing some forms that you've already sent. The entire interview only took about 15 minutes and the wait time was only 5 min. Harassment Level : 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.
