Consulate Review: Jamaica Review Topic: K3 Visa Event Description Review Date : September 12, 2009 Embassy Review : On my husband's first interview, it was all good. Security (the people in the yellow jackets)were very helpful, even though my husbands was late . After leaving that area he went to the window were the lady doing the interview was very nice, my husband was missing some of the papers that were needed,(even though his wife sent them to him weeks ahead of time) he left them, thinking he didn't need them so she polietly asked him when could he return with the documents? she rescheduled him and he was off. Now the second interview was not so great , as soon as my husband reached the window the older lady behind it asked him "when was the last time he smoked ghanja" he told here over two years ago, and she said "sorry your visa is denied, come back in 2012" I given them a rating of a 4, beacuase the first time my husband came, they could have dismissed him then for being late, yet they were VERY helpful in getting him prepared for the next time... sadly he was denied for three years , so I guess we will be doing this again in 2012 Rating : 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.
