Member Reviews:

Consulate Review: Belgium Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : October 28, 2008 Embassy Review : They're really helpfull and friendly throughout the procedure. The interview went very smooth. First a lady asked for all the paperwork, then my fingerprints were taken. The Consular Officer asked only a couple of questions, if I was ever married before, how we met and when we started our relationship ... I was lucky to have my visa printed out the same day as the interview. I think I was out of the Embassy in less then 2 hours. Excellent work by those people there! 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
