Consulate Review: Peru Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : April 8, 2009 Embassy Review : We arrived at 7:25am and our appointment was at 8:35am. We were the first K-1 couple in line. We entered the embassy at about 8:05am. At about 8:20am, we were called to one of the windows. My fiancee was asked about 10 simple questions in spanish and we had to provide some documentation (i.e. financial support documentation and other requested forms that were requested in the packet). The interviewer was very nice and we were at the window for about 10 minutes. At about 8:40am, we were called to the interview room. The second interviewer was also very nice. The interviewer asked about 15 simple questions and then said that the Visa was approved. This took about 10 minutes. We then went outside to the DHL waiting area to get the receipt for picking up the Visa and passport (the interview was on Friday and the Visa and passport were available for pickup from DHL on the following Tuesday). We had to wait at the DHL office for about 10 minutes and then we left the embassy at about 9:05am. The total process was very easy and everyone that we spoke to was very nice. My opinion is that, if possible, the K-1 sponsor should go to the interview appointment with their fiance/fiancee. We both were asked questions during the interview and by going together, it is a good opportunity for the couple to support one another. 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.
