My wife had to rush from work to be there and I had the car... fortunately she made it with about 10 minutes to spare... It feels so awesome to finally be a citizen. I filed for my passport, my new SSN card and registered to vote all on Thursday the 7th!!

Consulate Review: Vancouver, Canada Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : December 21, 2005 Embassy Review : The interview was awesome - everything was smooth as ice and only took a couple minutes once I was inside. The hardest part was waiting until the afternoon to get my passport back with my visa in it. 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
