Consulate Review: Juarez, Mexico Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : March 14, 2021 Embassy Review : My wife and I flew into Jurauz about 1 week before her interview so we had time to get the Interview letter from the consulate an do her medical appointments. My wifes interview was early in the morning, I belive the letter stated 8:00am. We never did recieve the interview invitation letter, and so we asked for it at the consulte window the day after we arrived. We needed this for her medical exam as well. My wife entered the consulte asap in the morning of her interview and was back at the hotel around 930am. They asked her a few simple questions.. 1. Whats your fiances name 2. Where does your fiancé live? 3. What is your name? 4. What is your sons name? Then told her congratulations your visa is approved and gave her a green slip on how to track the visa, although We collected it at the consulates applicant processing center the next friday. Oddly they ddint collect any documents from her other than her passport. It was almost as if they decided to approve the visa prior to the interview. Rating : Very Good

POE Review: Chicago Event Description Entry Date : 2019-09-11 Embassy Review : The point of entry was very quick, k1 goes into the first time arrival, ESTA, student visas section. I went with my fiance of which we were only asked 4 questions. You know you need to marry within 90 days? When will you marry? How did you meet and how long of a relationship have you had? I chose Chicago as i heard it is much easier than places such as houston/dallas.. which were the other options. Harassment Level : Low

Local US CIS Office Review: Saint Paul MN Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : April 14, 2021 Embassy Review : Our appointment was at 10:45am of wich we arrived at 10:43. We didn't get in for a interview until 11:50, of wich I was kinda mad about as I paid for a over the phone interpreter from 10:45 to 11:45. $90 wasted. When we got called in for a interview we were not separated as every other couple in the waiting area was. When we entered the first thing we did was hand over our relationship evidence and sat down. The interviewing officer allowed me to interpret for my wife as calling the interpreter wouldve costed more money. My wife was asked basic questions off the I485 such as her name and maiden name, if she was married before and if she's married now. He asked for her parents names and dates of birth then asked for her husband's name and place + date of birth. My wife did not fully answer all of the questions such as where I was born, she answered the city I grew up in and not the one I was born. She got the state right though. The officer then laughed a little and then asked for the names and dates of birth of all children involved in the relationship, 3 kids. 2 step children and 1 biological. She answered all correctly. He then asked a few questions from the eligibility questions in the i485, about 10 random questions. And then he asked us to give a brief story of our relationship and how we met. At the end he stated our case must be reviewed and gave us a slip explaining it must be reviewed. He assured us it was normal for all cases. We got done with our interview... around 1:15pm The next day our status changed to "new card is being produced" I'm giving the office 4 stars, interview was comfortable. Took a long time as he was re-organizing the entire immigration packet (129f-everything), but the wait in the waiting area was dreadful. Harassment Level : 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.
