Consulate Review: New Delhi, India Review Topic: K3 Visa Event Description Review Date : October 4, 2006 Embassy Review : GOt there at 8:00 AM. All the papers from the VFS office were already at the embassy. Was called for the interview at 9:00 AM (was the first one in the grouple of people sitting). I was asked if I wanted the interview in English or Hindi (there was an African American guy whose Hindi would put many native Hindi speakers to shame :-). After going through all the paperwork, he asked: 1. Where are you going? 2. Why are you going to the US? 3. How did you meet your hubby? 4. Can I see some pictures of the wedding? 5. Where does he work? What does he do? 6. How many people in your new family? And that's it. Very smooth and very painless. I was out of the embassy at 9:30 AM (1.5 hours duration). They got the passport/Visa to the VFS office in 3 days. Piece of Cake -- no worries. Rating : Very Good

POE Review: Chicago Event Description Entry Date : 2006-09-27 Embassy Review : Very smooth processing -- out in 45 minutes (after collecting luggage too) Harassment Level : Low

*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.
