Comment: There is a special line for visa holder. Waiting on that line. My fiance is waiting at the US citizen line since we can't be together on the same line. The officer only asked 2 question. Who is XXXXX XXXXXX (my fiance name) and when is the wedding date. After that, he passed me a number and he said, I can take my bag, the next officer will tell me what is next. We get our luggage and the next officer told me that I need to wait in the room before they process my entry. Waiting in a room around 15 minutes. After that, they gave back my passport and I can go. It is awesome. :D

Consulate Review: Malaysia
Review Topic: K1 Visa
Event Description
Review Date : March 29, 2018
Embassy Review : I scheduled my appointment on 6th March 2018 (the earliest date available that time). On 26th February 2018, I got emailed from the embassy saying that my appointment is canceled and they rescheduled it to 20th March 2018. Since my fiance already bought a flight ticket here to attend the interview with me, it is really unfortunate for us. But, after few emails back to back (from my fiance and I) we able to move the date to 8th March 2018.

On 8th March 2018, we arrived at the US Embassy (Kuala Lumpur) around 9.45am (our appointment is at 10am). Around 9:55am they allowed us to enter the embassy. At the first security check, we need to hand over all our electronic device. The person who checked on us is awesome. We did have conversation shoes since her husband is the designer of the shoes that I wore on that day.

When we enter the building, there is a guy gave us a checklist of everything needed. He said "you can take your time and arrange all documents needed according to the list. Whenever you are ready, please come to the other side and there will be someone assist you. If you find out that there is something missing, it is fine, don't panicked and just come over with all the thing you have". We sit in the waiting room and arrange all the documents needed in sequence (passport, passport photo, DS-160 confirmation page, document delivery confirmation, I-134, tax transcript, birth certificate (original and translated), police certificate, medical examination result).

After we arrange everything, we went to other room, and there is one lady gave us a number. We need to wait until they call our number. At the first counter, they will ask everything (according to the list). Just realized that I don't have a copy of my translated birth certificate. The lady in first counter is so nice and said "it is okay, I will make a photocopy for you. Wait here for a while". After I hand over my documents, she asked whether we have pictures for proof of relationship. I said we did screenshot a lot of photo during our video call. And I hand over a bundled of relationship proof to her (including FB messenger summary that show we have around 600,000 messages between us in 8 months, video call and voice call logs, screenshot during video call, screenshot a conversation between me and his sister in law, screenshot of his parents show me around their new house and few other screenshots). She said, she has everything needed now, and we can sit and wait for our number to be called again.

We sat and wait. Around 20 minutes after that, our number is called to counter 5. The consulate officer is smiling and greeting us nicely.
CO : Good morning, how are you today?
Me : Doing great, how are you?
CO : I'm fine. So, he's the petitoner?
Me: Yes.
CO: How did you meet?
Me: From an android game, called "township"
CO: Oh wow, that is amazing. I saw years of conversation between both of you (referring to evidence that we submitted together with our petition), when actually you guys start talking to each other?
Me: June 2016
CO: Awesome. When is the wedding date?
Me: 4th April 2018 (what we planned before, but the date change now)
CO: Great. (she typing a lot and didn't ask anything after that. I almost cried because I thought she will deny me. After long of typing, she tried to find something on the shelf next to her. I was super duper nervous since I remembered the CO on my tourist visa did that too before hand over the denial letter)
CO: Did you get the domestic abuse pamphlet?
Me: Yes, I did
CO: Awesome. Read on that. Everything looks good, your visa will be ready next week
Me: Seriously?
CO: Yes, Congratulation!

3 question! That's all.
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
