Member Reviews:

Consulate Review: Bahrain Review Topic: K3 Visa Event Description Review Date : August 24, 2009 Embassy Review : Aside from the initial getting started with the consulate as well as the 3 month period where they had our case and didn't tell anyone. The interview was actually the easiest part of the whole process. My advice to anyone filing in Manama, Bahrain is to stay on top of your paperwork because you will ultimately be responsible for it until you file and await your interview. Rating : Moderate

*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.
