Member Reviews:

Consulate Review: Bogota, Colombia Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : March 8, 2006 Embassy Review : The K1 Visa process was well worth all the waiting. I went to the interview with my wife and this made our case easy to approve. I would recommend hiring a immigration attorney like we did. She was there to answer all our questions and provided timely and helpful information to make the process run smooth. 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.

** Not all cases are transfered
