Member Reviews:

Consulate Review: Bucharest, Romania Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : March 4, 2007 Embassy Review : Took about 3 hours.. Asked several questions.. Where did you meet your Fiancee at.. What attracted you to him Has he giving you any gifts And another I can't remember at this time.. But the Interview is the easyist part of this complete process.. You need to check on the transit visa to go to your interview(if your from Moldova).. It could take up to a month to get it and at this time you do need a invite letter from the US Consulate in Romania Got the Visa the same day.. 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.

** Not all cases are transfered
