Member Reviews:

Consulate Review: Guayaquil, Ecuador Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : June 5, 2019 Embassy Review : Interview was set at 11:00AM We arrive at 10:00am Went thru security about 10:15AM Ecuadorian Consul ask few questions about the papers of the appointment, the confirmation page DS-160, birth certificate, police records and my fiancee passport. Then she waited like 40 minutes between the local consul and the US consul I waited outside because only her was allowed in. However in her interview she was asked the famuous question “When was the last time that I visited her?” My fiacee said “ohhh is outside waiting” She open her eyes and approved the visa on the spot. Never asked for papers or pictures only 3 questions and boom She got out like 1:00pm Running in Happiness Saying in spanish “ME APROVARON” The passport will come in 10 business day after her interview. 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
