Consulate Review: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Review Topic: K1 Visa
Event Description
Review Date : October 15, 2019
Embassy Review : Overall process took about an hour but we were approved! They asked my fiancee 3 questions: How did we meet, when did we meet, and where is she going in America? Super polite lady who interviewed is, I the petitioner was not asked anything, I simply stood quietly behind my fiancee. No proof of relationship was needed and the only affidavit of support information they needed was the affidavit of support and last years tax return. Absolutely painless process!
Rating : Very Good

I am trying to make my finance stop worrying . Did they really receive your I-129F after February 20th 2019 in California and processed it already ? She is now convinced the uscis website is lying to her and there is something wrong with our process . Any response would be appreciated as she is now losing her mind . If so what’s the secret to skip through?

Hello Jball44, I understand the stress! First thing you should know is the estimated date for approval that Visa Journey sends you is accurate, mine was precise to the DAY! Visa Journey sent me an updated estimated approval date about once a week, usually saying it would be approved sooner than the previous estimate they sent. Here is my elaborated timeline with the dates things happened: I sent the I-129F to the Texas location on 3/23/2019, who then sent it to the California location, I don’t know when the California location received it. I received my NOA 1 on 3/26 saying they received it and provided the WAC receipt #. I then checked this link: https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do About 3 months later I got a the NOA 2 in the mail saying it was approved (the link above confirmed this). After that I waited for 30 days before calling the National Visa Center to see if they received my application and have generated my case #. I had to call a few times to get through to a real person and they were very helpful and quick to provide me with the case #. They then said the paperwork would be sent to the Rio consulate for the next steps. Using the case # they told me I used the following link to check the status: https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?eQs=WwjqOlbeRYzCYubaSQI+RA== A week or so later the consulate received the documents and e-mailed my fiancée to begin the DS-160. She spent the next month filling it out and saving up the money for the fee. She then paid the fee and scheduled the interview.

Jball44, I noticed your consulate location shows Armenia, is that accurate?

*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
