Consulate Review: Cameroon Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : October 22, 2010 Embassy Review : I had a difficult time getting packet 3 and also scheduling visa interview appointment. You need to insist by calling over and over. They never replied any of my emails. Making multiple calls was the way out. They promised to call us back several times but never did. This embassy was quite simply during the interview itself. My fiancée was ask just 4 questions 1.How did your fiancé travel to the US? 2.How long has he lived in US? 3.When is the last time he visited you in Cameroon? 4. Where does he live in the US? The CO then asked her to bring a second copy of DS-156 the next day at 1pm, we forgot to make an additional copy of this document. Upon submission of a second copy of DS-156, her visa was approved 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.
