Consulate Review: Guangzhou, China Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : May 28, 2009 Embassy Review : Important for the petitioner to attend the pre interview meeting. The immigration officer talked with me for 20 minutes and was typing the whole time we were talking. At the interview she was already approved. The interview took only 5 minutes and they never looked at 1 page of documentation. Good luck to all Rating : Very 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
