Super fast and Easy. Was asked to go to the back of the line to finish a form not completely filled out. The officer was quick at reading the envelope contents and doing biometrics. |

When you get transferred to Laguna, the wait seems much longer then if it stayed local, so be patient. |

| Embassy Review : |
The interview was a breeze and over before both of us knew it. We both had been preparing 7 months for it and were quite anxious but the actual day was exciting and relieving. We arrived between 6:45-6:50 am. The line was already long but it continued to grow after us. The line seems huge at first. This is because all the people there for tourist visas are lumped together with the K1 applicants. Between 7-7:10am they began separating the visas. They check your 2 photo IDs to make sure they are correct and ears are showing (if they are not they will send you to retake them) and give you a number for your interview. The K-1 folks were ushered to the 2nd floor ahead of everyone else. There you are seated and instructed on how to fill out a few forms and make sure all your paperwork is in order. When you are done you wait some more to be called into a room with a window for further checking of documents. They take the documents so the consular can look them over and consider them before questioning you at the interview. When this is done you are seated again and wait for everyone to go through this step. There were 2 other couples besides us and about 6 solo women and 1 solo man. This made the wait not terribly long. They then start the process of calling people to a room for their interviews. It went in the order of who completed their paperwork first and went to the rooms with windows first (not by the number you were given previously). We went to the window rooms in the middle so our number was called in the middle to be interviewed. As people exited the interview room you could assess if the talk went well or not based on their faces, some gave words of encourgement. When our turn came we went in together without a problem. He asked my fiance to hold up his hand a swear to tell the truth and to places is fingers on scanner for biometric fingerprinting. We saw our huge file we had sent in January beside him. We smiled, was cordial and friendly. He asked a few key questions like where we had met, how long had we known each other, how many times had I been to Brasil and then he said 'Okay , you have not given me any reason to not give you the visa, I believe you' and smiled. With that our interview was over. We went out and were told to pay a small fee in reais on the first floor for a carrier service to deliver my fiance's passport/visa back to him. It arrived by the end of the week. |

*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.
