Consulate Review: Guangzhou, China
Review Topic: K1 Visa

| Event |
Description |
| Review Date : |
April 24, 2016 |
| Embassy Review : |
There were two queues at the entrance of the consulate visa center, one for non-immigrant visa, the other for immigrant visa. When I got there at 8 am, there was a very long queue for non-immigrant visa, in which there were approximately 100 people, probably more inside the building. K-1 applicants should join the immigrant visa queue, which was much shorter, with only 7 or 8 people in the line.
After the security check at the entrance, I went to the 3rd floor. At the 1st window, I submitted the interview appointment letter sent by the consulate. And I got a number there. Then I sat and watched a screen which would tell you in a few minutes the next window you were going to. The officer here speaks Chinese.
At the 2nd window, I was asked to open the physical exam result envelope, and submitted the document inside along with the petitioner's income and tax documents, and my birth certificate/notary, my police certificate/notary there. The officer here speaks Chinese.
At the 3rd window, the officer asked my whether I could speak English, and I answered yes. Then I was asked to swear that I would speak of truth. After that, I was asked a few questions.
- What is the name of your petitioner/fiance/boyfriend?
- When did you first meet?
- Do you know that he is single/divorced?
- How many children does he have?
- Your job is X. Can you list some of your clients?
- What is the highest degree you have completed?
After all the questions, the officer said: "Congratulations. Your visa is approved."
The whole process took about an hour. |

*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.
