First interview date was September 7, 2010. Police certificate would not be ready until September 8, 2010. Rescheduled interview for September 15, 2010. Second interview date set for September 15th, however; Almaty Embassy does visa interviews on TUESDAYS only, so date was a typo and interview was actually on the 14th. New interview date is now the 21st. Easy interview. Visa Approved. Now must go thru process of getting permission to leave Kazakhstan. That was completed November 25th. POE Denver, CO on December 22nd. |

Took longer for the bags to arrive from the aircraft than to go thru immigration. IO took medical envelope, stamped passport and I-94 form, and wished her well in the USA. Entire process took 2 hours after the airplane landed and the bags arrived. I am glad there were no connecting flights to try to make it to. |

Appointment was at 10:15. Arrived at 9:40 and went through security and to the second floor. Checked in with the guard and waited to be called. At 10:25 called to Door C--we were the first ones called to this door as they were using Door A. Escorted to Officer Moon's office. We were sworn in and she said they had received Roza's vaccination records and medical forms and my Affidavit of Support and everything was okay with it. Then she began to ask Roza questions that were on the application like full name, address, phone number, parent's names, SSN as we had put that on the application, are you working and all the have you ever...questions. She photo copied our passports and my DL and Roza's AP/EAD card. She kept the I-94 from Roza's Passport. She keep a copy of the Marriage Certificate and told us that was all she needed. We will hear from them in 30 days and because we have been married for less than two years, Roza will receive a two-year conditional GC and we will have to remove those conditions 90 days before the card expires. We were done by 10:50. |

Please be sure that your interview date they send you is for a Tuesday as that is the only day they do K-1 visa interviews. We found this out when Roza's interview was rescheduled from September 7th, a Tuesday, to September 15th, a Wednesday. When she arrived on the 15th they told her she was suppose to have been there on the 14th as they on conduct interviews on Tuesdays. After rescheduling for a second time, her interview was for Tuesday, September 21st at 0800.
After arriving and checking the interview letter, Roza paid the $350 interview fee and waited to be called. Once called she gave them the DS-156K, the DS-230, and the I-134 forms along with her birth certificate and translation, and her police certificate and translation. Then asked when did we meet, when did I propose to her, and where did I live. Roza was told that she could get her passport with the visa Wednesday before 11am. The wait was about 30 minutes once inside. Going thru security is what takes a while. Over all a very good experience. |

*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.
