Consulate Review: Cambodia Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : April 28, 2016 Embassy Review : First, I just want to say thanks to Visa Journey and all the members who had help me. I don't know how I would have done it without this forum. Me and my fiancé had our interview today 4/28/2016 at the Phnom Penh embassy. We arrived at the embassy at around 6:00am and were 2nd in line waiting outside the embassy. They started letting people inside at 7:00am and were directed to go to window 7 to sit and wait to get our number. At 7:30am window 7 open up and we were 2nd in line. Around 8am they called our number to come to the window to hand in our documents. Then were told to wait for our number to be called again for fingers print. Then at around 8:30 or so, they called our number for fingers print. Once that is done was told to come and wait again until they call our number one last time for the interview. Finally around 9am it was our turn for our interview. Me and my fiance went to the window together and the consular officer started asking questions right away while looking through our file. She started by asking me in English: Since, I was once married the consular started asking me the below questions: 1. Are you married before and when? 2. Did you sponsored your ex from Cambodia? 3. Why is your previous marriage didn't work out? 4. Do I have any kid and how many? 5. Who has custody of the children? 6. How old are the children? 7. Where is my ex currently live and where do I live? 8. How do I met my fiance? We met thru facebook a little over a year ago. 9. How did you know him from FB or came across his profile? Is it thru mutual friends or..? 10. How long had we known each other? 11. Do we have an engagement ceremony? If so, any pictures? 12. Why do we decided to get engage if we only saw each other once? 13. Do we have wedding plan and where are we planning to get married? 14. What job do I do? 15. How many time have I visited Cambodia? 16. Where are my parents? 17. Did my parents attend the engagement ceremony? Then the consular officer asked my fiance questions in Khmer: 1. Where he work? 2. Has he ever talked to my children? 3. When and where we met? 4. What's your fiance job? That's all she asked my fiance. Then she said our interview didn't go too well. I was so nervous after she said that. So I reached over to my fiance hands and said everything will be okay while the consular officer typed. A few minutes later she pulled out a blue slip and told us to come and pick up the visa next Friday. Me and my fiance were over joy by this news!!! Rating : Not Rated

*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.
