The interview only took less than 10 minutes. The IO even told us he didn't know why they sent us in for interview... :-) |

| Embassy Review : |
My appointment was at 8:30.
I got there around 8:00. There were 9 people waiting in front of me (my number was 209).
I got my first call around 8:45 and handed my documents.
Second call shortly after and got my X-ray back.
Third call and was asked for my family registry and told them I've given them with all my other documents.
4th call and got my fingerprints taken.
Waited about 30 minutes or so, around 9:30, they opened more windows
and started the interviews.
I was the third one to be interviewed. (around 9:40)
My interviewer was a young female and she was super nice.
We just has some casual conversation...not much of detail.
It only took about 3 minutes then I was approved!
She told me,
"8 years of relationship!? This is like one of the best visa we've given here!"
I left the embassy around 9:50.
Anyways, everyone at the embassy seemed nice and helpful.
I received my visa by mail 3 days after the interview.
(They spelled my fiance's name wrong, but told me it won't be a problem...)
I've overheard other people getting interviewed for K-1 and that person
was indeed asked really detailed questions. Specific dates and such.
I guess it really depends on the cases...
There are at least 3 convenience stores around the embassy (Seven Eleven,
Family Mart and Lawson) and a few coffee shops (Starbucks, Tully's etc).
Good luck y'all. |

*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.
