Wow....was I nervous for that??? 
I arrived at 1 and was the2nd for a K1/K3 visa....at 13:20 they opened the gate and let me in after the security. I was 2nd in line, so they wait there was only like 5 min....the friendly man behind the window asked for my appointment letter, postage, fingerprints, passport, I-134, proof of paying the 89 euro's...he gave me back the x-ray, went through the papers real quick, told me it looked fine to him, but that the consul had the last word.
After 45 min I was the first one called to window 6. There was a real nice American (the first was Dutch) man, asked me who petitioned for me, what job he has, how me met, what job I have. Since we met through church, he made some small talk about that. Then made me say: yes I do, to promises that all the info I gave them is correct to the best of my knowledge....fingerprint of left indexfinger again, went through some papers, asked if I had ever been to the States, when we were planning to have the wedding (to check if we were planning to marry within 90 days) and then said: I'm going to approve your petition, am keeping your passport en will mail it to you within 5 days and that WAS IT!!! Not as hard as I thought it might be...very friendly people, and I was out in about 1 hour, including the security checks!! WOW!!! Thank you Lord!!!!
Good luck everyone who still need to have their interview!! |

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
