Consulate Review: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Review Topic: K1 Visa
|
| Event |
Description |
| Review Date : |
June 27, 2008 |
| Embassy Review : |
My fiancee was interviewed by a fairly new DOS CO. She wasn't in her job that long, that being said, she didn't understand a lot of the idiosyncrasies that "lifer" COs can pick up over time (my opinion). She went by the book, and consequently, it was a difficult interview. My strongest recommendation that I can make to new K-1 visa applicants is pay for your fiancees to command the English language. This will save you mountains of headaches when they are at the interview. Having a relatively "good" command of the english language is necessary in my opinion, of putting the odds in your favor of getting your pink slip. The translators are not in your fiancees best interest.
The other thing that affected my outcome, is that I work for a government contractor and that was not noticed by the CO, had they noticed, I wouldn't have waited so long in AP. (50+days) With ME's help, he pointed out my employer and within (2) weeks, my case was resolved and they treated my fiancee like a VIP when they gave her the pink slip.
If you work for the US Government, make sure they (the consulate) know that.

*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.
