FIRST OF ALL NVC GAVE ME THE WRONG # SO I HAD TO LOOK IT UP ONLINE. I CALLED AND GOT TRANSFERRED 3X BUT FINALLY GOT TO SOMEONE WHO WAS VERY NICE. SHE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WITH SONN'Y NAME SO I ENDED UP GIVING HER THE CASE # AND COME TO FIND OUT THEY SPELLED HIS MAME WRONG. ANYWAY SHE SAID THEY SENT OUT THE PACKASGE TO HIM ON 10/17/2008. SO HE SHOULD REC. IT NEXT WEEK. SHE ALSO SAID THAT IT DEPENDED ON HIS RESPONSE FOR TIMING. SO HE WILL HAVE TO LET THEM KNOW HE GOT THE PACKET AND THEN THEY WILL GIVE HIM THE INTERVIEW DATE.

Consulate Review: Barbados Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : March 25, 2009 Embassy Review : INTERVIEW DID NOT GO WELL. PAUL WAS THE INTERVIEWER AND SONNY TOLD ME THAT PAUL SEEMED NICE AND TALKED WELL. HE QUESTIONES US NOT KNOWING EACHOTHER FOR LONG ANF GETTING ENGAGED. HE ALSO LEFT THE ROOM AND CAME BACK IN TO GIVE SONNY A LETTER AND HIS PASSPORT. SONNY WAS TOLD THAT THE CASE NEEDED TO BE REVIEWED FURTHER. SONNY CALLED ME HOURS AFTER THE INTERVIEW AND I CALLED THE EMABASSY. I TALKED TO PAUL AND WHAT I GET FROM THE CONVERSATION IS THAT HE DID NOT BELIEVE OUR RELATIONSHIP. HE TOLD ME TO GIVE HIM A FEW DAYS AND GAVE ME PHONE # TO CALL HIM BACK. I FELT OK....I WAITED A WEEK AND THE # HE GAVE ME DIDN'T EVEN GO THROUGH!!!! THE LASY THAT ANSWERS THE PHONE HAS AN ATTITUDE!!!! I HAVE BEEN OVER A MONTH AND WE HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. I AM PLANNING TO GO TO BARBADOS NEXT MONTH-MAYBE WE WILL JUST GET MARRIED!!!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN BUT WE ARE BOTH VERY WORRIED. TOO MUCH TIME HAS PASSED WITH NO RESPONSE.

*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.
