Very nice to see the PR Green card has arrived now! It took 4 months for all the AOS processing. The transfer to CSC was surely key to the speedy process. |

| Embassy Review : |
I had my K1 visa interview on the 26th December 2006, one day after the xmas day...so i thought...hmmm...would be a nice gift for xmas 2006!! It was one of the monsoon season day...rain.... Appointment at 9am, i arrived at 845am...As expected, many ppl has lined up in the rain outside of embassy. Despite the temporary tent the embassy has set up for this purpose, it didnt help much...we were mostly wet!! The security guard instructed me to join the line without given me any opportunity to post any question.
With a big stack of documents, files, photos prepared on my hand, i began to wonder why would i have to join this long line if i have the appointment at 9am? Without more hesitation, i decided to walk to the embassy security entrance and show them the letter of appointment of K1 interview...and viola....i got into the embassy!!
The interview process was easy, nice and smooth. The officer was friendly and barely asked me any question except for the expected date of departure to US and showed some of our photos taken together....and after 5 mins...the officer took my passport and made the next appointment for passport collection, with K1 visa stamped of course!  |

*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.
