| Embassy Review : |
I urge you all to read this post because it through us for a whirl when Jorge went to his interview last Tuesday ( a week ago today)
We have read countless reviews of the simple 3 question-your approved interviews at Rio's embassy. We have read many testimonials of a previous tourist visa denial not affecting a K1 visa approval in the slightest. And yet Jorge and I somehow got the short end of the stick. I don't know if the interviewer was just not having a good day, or if something about Jorge didn't rub this guy right, but after waiting 3 hours to be interviewed, Jorge was asked 20 minutes worth of questions that the guy would seem to try his hardest to catch Jorge in a lie asking him questions that didn't even make sense with our relationship and what the evidence showed. He also asked him questions that seemed a little abnormal (he asked Jorge about my son's father who I have never been married to or lived with, etc...)
Jorge felt interrogated and almost violated with the way this guy was treating him. it was insulting. He didn't even ask Jorge what language he prefers to do the interview in and Jorge does not speak fluent English yet.. .and the interviewer went from one language to the other just randomly.... obviously from all that was happening Jorge became a little nervous. He feared the worst, and didn't have the slightest clue why this was happening to him as he heard other couples receiving the type of interviews and outcomes we have read so much about...
Finally the guy told him he needed more proof of our relationship.. so bless his heart, Jorge ran around gathering 300 pages of printed photos and texts (WhatsApp conversations) to return to the embassy THAT AFTERNOON. He could not re-enter but they seemed to be expecting his return same day. They told him they would review and contact him.
Still devastated, it has been a week since then and we have no idea how long we have to wait or what exactly we are waiting for. We had planned the date of his departure and everything and now we are stuck in limbo again very confused, very emotionally drained. I emailed the embassy last Thursday I think and asked them if there is any way I can help them with more evidence and they plain and simply told me my case was being reviewed and to wait.
that's it.
they did keep Jorge's passport... I am hoping that is a good sign.

*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.
