Consulate Review: Peru Review Topic: General Review Event Description Review Date : July 16, 2019 Embassy Review : My fiancé had his K1 interview and was at the embassy a few hours. He said it was a relatively painless process. He was not asked a lot of questions even though I was not there. CO asked how many times we met. He forgot to bring a copy of receipt for paying visa fees so the CO looked it up in the system. He organized all of his other papers in a folder and said that was really helpful. He spoke with one officer in Spanish and the other in English and pretty much just went with whatever language they were speaking. The actual interview he said only lasted 5 to 10 minutes in total. He brought information to prove an ongoing relationship and an updated intent to marry letter but was not asked for any of it. Rating : Good

Local US CIS Office Review: Raleigh NC Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : August 31, 2020 Embassy Review : It’s a surreal experience at the Durham, NC office in light of Covid. They definitely space out AOS interviews. We entered a room and the IO was on an iPad video and dialed in via speakerphone. He told us that he could hear us even when he stepped away to review our paperwork. We made sure to have normal conversation after that time. He basically only asked my husband the standard questions about whether or not he’d committed a crime, joined a terrorist group, etc. He did ask him if he was working and the name of the form and then he had to sign the update as part of his application. I didn’t have to answer any questions as the sponsor. We’d practiced responses to typical questions about our relationship but didn’t need any of them. We also brought pictures and evidence of a shared life together but we’re not asked for any of it so we just took it home with us. I had no idea if we’d be approved or not because the IO just said we’d hear back in a matter of weeks. The whole experience felt surreal to me talking through an iPad in an office but I suspect they were watching our body language the whole time. We both wore suits as well to show that we took the process seriously. Some people were fairly casually dressed. The IO was serious but professional and didn’t appear to be trying to trip us up or look for signs of fraud. My advice is to be prepared and trust that the truth will prevail and be evident. Harassment Level : 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.
