Consulate Review: Chile Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : April 18, 2007 Embassy Review : My fiance had his interview today. He was approved! His interview was at 1:30. The interviewer at the window was late and arrived an hour later at 2:30. He then waited for about two hours. The man asked him for my I-134 and tax information. He asked him what his fiancee did for a living in the U.S. He told him everything was in order and to go to the Consulate's window (window #4). The man there asked him if he had been to the U.S. before and for how long (once in 2000, tourist visa) and where we met (U.S.). He asked my fiance why he had applied for a tourist visa to Miami last year (my fiance told him we were planning a vacation there, it would have been a half-way point more or less for us to meet but he was denied). My fiance then told the officer that not getting that tourist visa was not a problem. I had managed to visit him 4 times within the last year!! The officer then told him he was approved and his visa would be available for pickup next week. He paid the cashier and left. My fiance said everyone was courteous and pleasant. 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.
