| Comments : |
My fiance was with immigration for a while. The questioned him a lot, more than in the embassy interview, but they were very kind and patient (lack of English). They also called me while I was waiting on the other side of international arrivals to verify answers to their question.
Nothing difficult, just not as straightforward as I though it would be based on others' reviews. |

Nebraska Service Center
*** actual NOA date on notice is (12-06-2018). VJ doesn't seem to think that it is possible for USCIS to be that slow. That being said Nebraska Service Center (LIN) has been having the quickest processing times for approval. |

Consulate Review: Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Review Topic: K1 Visa

| Embassy Review : |
The embassy in Riyadh recieved our file and contacted us with packet 3 right away. After this however it was difficult to contact the embassy (only through email). Sometimes they would reply sometimes they would not. After sending in the required documents it took about a month and a half before being scheduled for the interview. And the interview was only 6 days after being notified with the packet 4 email. Very short notice.
His interview was on a Wednesday at 12:30pm. He was in and out in about an hour. Not much waiting. He was first asked for the email with his interview appointment and his passport. Then, he was asked for the original receipt for the payment through SAMBA bank. He was also asked for his original birth certificate and english translation, police certificate, medical, affidavit of support and supporting documents, and any additional pictures we had of us together. The officer did not request any evidence of meeting such as out hotel invoices, passport stamps etc., or conversations. This was not even taken from him. The pictures were returned with the original birth certificate. The other documents were kept.
My fiancé said his interview was fairly easy, nothing to worry about. Around 80% of the questions were about me (the petitioner) and 20% about him. There were two different officers who gave the interviews.
The first thing they asked him was who is your fiancé and what is her full name?
How do you know her/meet her?
How many times have you seen/meet her?
How did she come to Saudi Arabia?
You don't speak much English, how do you talk with her?
You got engaged 4 months after meeting?
How old is she?
What are her mother's, father's, brother's names?
Where is she now?
What is she studying? Which department?
Is she working in Qatar? When will she be finished there?
Which city in the US does she live?
Who is the joint sponsor, how is she related?
He said they asked a lot.... they asked everything. But it was easy. He knew all the answers and we didn't have to prepare for the questions.
The interview went well and he was approved. They were ready to take his passport but we were lacking 2013 and 2014 tax returns so he was issued 221(g) and returned his passport. He was given another paper instructing him to mail the tax documents and his passport back to the embassy via SMSA and the visa would be issued.
If you have any questions about the K1 process at the US embassy in Riyadh feel free to ask me and good luck to everyone!

*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.
