The officer didn't even look at anything, including our passports, we walked up together, he asked what we had, told him K-1, he says "oh great", then he just flipped through the packet to get her A# to write in the passport and gave them back and wished us luck. Couldn't be easier! |

Pretty simple, waited a long time which was nerve racking, roughly 4 hours and she was the last to be interviewed out of everyone there. I could not do the actual interview with her, but I was able to go to the processing window when we get to the waiting room to drop off the papers, which helped since she may not have known what all to give them. The interview was about 10 minutes total, they asked her if she had been to the USA before, why she wanted to go, how we met, where we met, how long she knew me, if she wanted to marry me, then they gave her the approval.  |

Told one of the officers roaming about that we were doing a K-1 and they told her to go in line with me into the US citizen line. Got to the officer, gave him our passports and the sealed envelope, told him it was k-1, obviously he didn't want to go through everything and ask questions, he said "oh great", didn't even look at anything really, honestly he barely even glanced at our passports, just went for her A# to write it in the passport, handed us everything back and said "have a nice life together". Real easy. Customs didn't check anything of ours either FYI. Quick and painless!  |

*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.
