Interview went on well and CO was very nice. He had asked me how I met my woman, if I knew what her parents did for a living, asked to see our photos together, asked what she likes to do and what book we have read together. He asked if my B1 travel (I was denied on 214(b) last year November) plans for last year was basically to see her (I was traveling for a conference but was definitely going to see her in Baltimore). He authorised my visa and it took 8 working days for pickup. Processing Estimates/Stats : Your I-129f was approved in 187 days from your NOA1 date. Your interview took 243 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

Consulate Review: Nigeria Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : September 13, 2018 Embassy Review : I was originally scheduled for September 25th but was able to reschedule for September 4th. I arrived the consulate as early as 5:30am for my 7am interview. Security checks began exactly 6am and by 7:30am I was already in the main consulate building. Passport, documents including affidavit of support and finger prints collected. Waiting number was assigned (during pre-screening outside the main consulate building). At 9am my number was called and a Korean-American male CO interviewed me. CO; What is the name of your fiancée? What is your name (my name)? How did you meet? How did she travel to the US? What year did she travel? What are her parents job(s)? What does she do for a living? Where does she work? What do you two like doing together? What books have you two read together? You wanted to attend a conference in DC last year? Were you going to meet your fiancée? Let me see your photos together! I will go ahead and authorise your visa. In between these questions we had system (computer) issues and CO kept apologising as he couldn't capture my finger prints. My case was transferred to another CO who was able to capture my finger prints and gave me the collection form. My visa processing took 8 working days to process. I am thankful to visa journey for this wonderful platform. 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
