Consulate Review: Egypt Review Topic: K3 Visa Event Description Review Date : May 6, 2008 Embassy Review : Aweful, rude, asked about our sex life. Rating : Not Rated

POE Review: Boston Event Description Entry Date : 2008-04-11 Embassy Review : Very simple and easy. He got his bags right away and didn't even have to stay more than 5 minutes in the immigration office. The guy asked him why are you here and he said to be with my wife. He asked what did you bring and he showed him the chocolates and my wedding ring, then he said ok welcome to america. Harassment Level : Low

*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
