The questions were basic: - When/how did we meet - What do I (the USC) do for a living - When was the last time I went to Argentina and the last time he came to visit me in the US. He said it was very quick and the guy was nice. I guess he teased my fiance because when he applied for his tourist visa in 2006 he listed me as his friend... :) Processing Estimates/Stats : Your I-129f was approved in 80 days from your NOA1 date.

Consulate Review: Argentina Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : May 14, 2008 Embassy Review : My fiance had his interview at 2pm local time and it was pretty low key. He arrived 20 minutes before and there were 5 other people waiting. He was given a number and they took all of the original forms and documents he had with him. An hour later he had his interview. The questions were basic: - When/how did we meet - What do I (the USC) do for a living - When was the last time I went to Argentina and the last time he came to visit me in the US. They did not ask to see any of the evidence he brought with him! He said it was very quick and the guy was nice. I guess he teased my fiance because when he applied for his tourist visa in 2006 he listed me as his friend... 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.
