Consulate Review: Guangzhou, China Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : July 10, 2018 Embassy Review : Visa officer: a white woman First she asked me to swear to tell nothing but the truth. Questions: 1，What's your name? 2，Who petitioned you? 3，How did you meet? 4，When was the last time you met him? 5，Has he visited you before? 6，Are you a CCP member? 7，When are you going to get married? The interview only took 3-5 minutes.The whole process went very smoothly except that I had waited for one and a half hour before the interview lol. Rating : Very Good

POE Review: Washington DC Event Description Entry Date : 2018-07-25 Embassy Review : The CBP officer opened my visa package and asked me these questions below: 1. What's your fiance's name? 2. How did you meet? 3. How long have you known each other? 4. When are you going to get married? 5. How much cash do you take with you? 6. Put your four fingers on it please 😄ཽ It's not painful at all. Just too many people tried to get through customs. I had waited for one and a half hour before I could take my luggages back. (updated on July 30, 2018) Harassment Level : Low

*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
