Member Reviews:

Consulate Review: Sydney, Australia Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : April 30, 2019 Embassy Review : Very efficient document collation and security process on the 10th floor. Then up to take a number and wait. I have 2 children who were part of the application process. So we waited a little longer and watched other K1 applicants have their interview and leave. That was a little daunting but overall we were in and out in just under 2hrs. The Immigration Officer was very efficient and professional. He asked all the questions you’d expect like when was the last time I had seen my fiancé in person etc. I was told to expect passports and visas within the 2 weeks. 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.
