Consulate Review: Bulgaria Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : August 15, 2016 Embassy Review : I had an interview for 14:00. Showed up at 13:45 and they let me in after looking at my passport. Went through security and had to leave my phone with them then I walked down to the building and checked with security there (they gave me a list with instructions how to organize my paperwork). I paid the fee at the cash desk and sat down to organize. After about 20 minutes they called me up to a desk and a bulgarian person asked me how we met and after that for all the paperwork in order one by one so he could inspect it. That took about 10 minutes and he gave me a dhl delivery slip to fill out and saod he will be back in 10. I waited and he gave me back a copy of it with a tracking number and asked for a photo album. Then told me to wait to be called for an interview. I waited about 20 minutes until I was up (with only 1 other k1 and 1 family that was already being intervied at another desk). I got asked how we met and then the lady lead the conversation to our next meeting, asked me whether I had met his parents, and does he have any siblings. After a lot of typing she just said congratulations you are approved without even looking at any of the documents or pictures I had given them. She was very friendly and had a smile on the whole time, explained everything well and offered to speak in bulgarian too. Overall quite a long wait for only one other person being interviewed but very pleasant experience. Rating : Very 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.
