Paying the consulate fee, I opted to send my visa to the local post office and be able to pick it up myself. The process went very fast. |

| Embassy Review : |
Interview was at 8am and arrived about 10 minutes before. Note: you are not allowed to bring a bag with you so you have to carry your document folder in your hands.
They let you in one at a time and ask for your passport - they give it back to you with a number attached. You then get scanned and have to put keys, phone and any other electronics into a locker.
K1 waiting room is on the 1st floor and you sit and wait for them to call your number.
First called up to cubicle to hand documents. They asked for passport pictures (x2), birth certificate (original), proof of residence in the USA and all supporting financial docs. Lady was quite friendly.
Went to sit back down and waited another 20minutes to get called to the interview cubicle.
The woman took my fingerprints and then asked me briefly who was my fiancé, where he lived, what he did and how often I had been to the USA before and if I had ever been arrested. She was also friendly.
She then said she recommended that my visa be approved and if the consulate needed additional documents they would contact me via email.
And that's it ! |

Timeline Comments: 1Hey! My boyfriend (US) and I (CAN) are about to start this process for me to immigrate to the US. May I ask why you guys decided to do the K1 route? Did you file with a lawyer? Do you have any advice? Thank you for posting. The journey seems intimidating and lengthy so I really appreciate coming across this.
*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
