Consulate Review: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : February 27, 2008 Embassy Review : Real easy and smooth interview... got there early enough and was the first one in line. The interview didn't last 5 mins! The consul lady was very polite and was all smiles all the time. The questions she made were very easy too. Nothing to worry about if you're in a real relationship. Now I just can't wait to fly to the love of my life's arms... 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
