Consulate Review: Amsterdam, Netherlands Review Topic: K3 Visa Event Description Review Date : August 18, 2007 Embassy Review : Fully prepared Wil arrived early for his 1:30 pm interview. He had all the required documents and answered all of the interviewers questions. She was a very pleasant lady. Surprisingly Wil was quite calm and needless to say I was the nervous one waiting in the US at home for the results. The interview process took about 45 minutes and most of that was wait time. It was a very busy day at the consulate and things moved along quickly. Questions included ~ "tell me about your wife" and "your first time in the US". After confirming the information, and taking his fingerprints she smiled and said "I'm going to approve your application". Once Wil left the consulate he called and gave me the good news ... I cried. Thanks to all who posted their interview experiences. It made all the difference in preparing for the next step forward. 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.
