Consulate Review: Guatemala Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : March 16, 2011 Embassy Review : Very Bad experience. First of all process there is very chaotic. I went to accompany my fiance last week and just the actual instructions of who should wait when and where is very confusing. There are only two windows assigned for Fiance visa approvals. The other windows are for other types of visas. In any case we were interviewed by the CO who noticed my fiance had been in the States before illegally 5 years ago. That being said, that threw a monkey wrench on the entire process. They told us she needed to prove she had been in Guatemala for the last five years which she subsequently did the next working day. Yet that was not enough, as we were assigned another CO who said they would call us an let us know their decision within an unspecified time frame. In general as of now i must say that they are very, very rude. There were other people with different issues, whom were treated bad also. What i also didn't like was the fact they air your personal business over their microphones for everyone to hear. You would have thought people would be granted some sort of privacy to talk about their case. But I guess those niceties are not emerging countries. Sad. Rating : Poor

*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.

** Not all cases are transfered
