Initially got an RFE for birth certificate despite submitting it. Even checked the online portal and it had been scanned an uploaded...
Interview was very straightforward, super quick and just general questions about relationship. They only asked to see marriage certificate plus our passports and driving licenses. 5minutes later they said I was approved. I asked for an I-551 stamp as I've got a job and was waiting to start employment, which they issued with a 1 year expiry date. All in all, a very positive experience!!! |

| Embassy Review : |
The embassy was more or less empty - only 4 booths open and the same number of interviewees. Pretty sure the majority of them were K1 Visa interviews meaning they were all from the Milligan v Pompeo lawsuit. I went up to the windows twice.
The first window - very nice lady asking for all the required documents. They took my passport, one copy of my passport photo, birth certificate, Police ACRO, i-134 Affadavit of Support and my fiance's tax returns. That was it. They took copies of the original docs and gave everything back to me except the Affadavit, Passport and Tax returns.
The second window - very brief interview. Asked me How and when we met, why we decided to get married and to see some photographs of our most recent meeting. They then told it was approved but because I was a K1 visa I would not be able to travel direct and an NIE will not apply for me. Walked away from the embassy with a pep in my step! |

Timeline Comments: 1Hi, you guys might be interested in Greg Suskind's K1 lawsuit. I'd do it but my NOA2 hasn't arrived (similar timeline to you both).
*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
