Consulate Review: South Africa Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : May 14, 2008 Embassy Review : All went as planned. A few interesting questions but nothing out of the ordinary. If you're request is sincere, and you have all your stuff in order, there shouldn't be too much of a problem Rating : 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
