Consulate Review: Jamaica Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : December 6, 2009 Embassy Review : Our interview was mondayNovember 30 th 2009 ..We got there about 5 minutes before because of traffic>we get ther the lady at thefront asked for the interview letter, passport photos 156,156k and the 157 we give them to her she says go inside and show us some things we missed. We go through to the desk get our number . we go inside and sit we are chatting and didnt noticve our number was on the screen ...We noticed after a moment the lady said you were right there and didnt come up right away she then said we need to pay attention.. So she asks for all the forms we give them to her she askes if he has ever been married he said no.. then she asks me i said no then she says so this would be your first marrige i said yes . Then she asked me again have i ever been married i said no .She aske him my name and he pronounced it wrong i was like OMG .Then she was looking through the forms and my co sponsor forgot his tax return and she said they couldnt use him ...I started to get so nervous because I was sure i needed the co sponsor.. SHe tell us to si and watch for the number to be called then she clls me back and asks for his passportport wich was in my hand i was so nervous i didnt realize and started looking for it finally i realize it was in my hand she smiled and said it was in your hand wasnt it..I said yes maam she typed something from the passport and handed it back and told me to have a seat.. So as we are wating i see that one window seems to be doing the final interviews. As I am watching and listening i was so nervous Ricky was trying to calm my nerves . The interview guy was giving out blue slips left and right..Ricky was talking about our plans later in the day the week and for life and this helped me he made me laugh alot.. there was this guy walking around directing people and he walks up to me while we are waiting and asked me when i leave i said friday he said you know he wont get to go with you > he then say no travel plans till visa is in hand i said yes i know ...Ricky said to me when the guy left im so confident we could make plans . They call our number we go to the window we get sworn in .The man said to Ricky who is filing for you he Jessica Puckett.The man had him write my name and sign the paper below it then turns to me and says are you Jessica I said yes . He then asks me to sit down and tells Ricky to pick up the phone. Question asked How did we meet? He saisd va at the pool i worked Did she work for the same company or did i live in the area? He said she lived in the area where does she work? Walmart what does she do at work ? Im not sure of the exact title but its in the customer service area Has she met your family ? Most of them how did you communicate? Email, letters amd telephone . The CO asked for emails and telephone bills and picture we may have together Ricky pull it all out and give him everything... next thing i hear go to window 26 for DHL do not make any travel plans until visa is in hand....

*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.
