Consulate Review: Mumbai, India Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : March 11, 2008 Embassy Review : My fiance had his K1 visa interview March 11th. His appointment was at 7:30am. He first went through security and then was put with all others who were there for immigrant visas. He waited about 15 minutes before he was called to window 16. At this window, there was an Indian lady who fingerprinted him and gave him trouble with his affidavit of support- tax transcripts saying that she had never seen them in place of w-2s/tax returns and that they would not accept them. She told him that it would be the consulate officers decision. After waiting for an hour he was called to the consulate officer (who I think was training another officer) she was in her mid-twenties and of Indian decent. He said that they were both extremely relaxed. They were laughing and very friendly. They asked him a few questions: 1. Who is supporting you 2. What does she do? 3. Is she in school? 4. When did you get married? 5. Did her parents come to India? 6. What will you do when you get to the US? 7. How long have you been a pastor? 8. Do you both belong to the Nazarene church? They then asked to see some pictures. They commented on me and asked him questions about where we were and about the engagement ceremony. When they were finished, they told Aaron that his demand draft had the incorrect name on it and therefore he needed to get a new one and give it to the VFS office ASAP so they could get the visa out. They never mentioned anything about the tax transcripts. Overall, Aaron said it was a good experience and the interview was easy and relaxed and he had no concerns. 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.
