Consulate Review: Guangzhou, China
Review Topic: K1 Visa

Description |
| Review Date : |
October 19, 2006 |
| Embassy Review : |
Attended "American Citizen's Hour" the week prior to interview and discussed the case, particularly the K2 follow to join aspect, with very friendly VO.
K1 and K2 well prepared and confident. VO knew sponsor had discussed the case at ACH, seemed to help. Routine questions, looked at pictures, spent more than 15 minutes explaining the K2 follow to join procedure. Very solid finances, six visits to China, lots of pictures with Chinese family members ... all these helped.
K1 approved. K2 given "blue slip" to set up the follow to join case. Couldn't have gone better. |

Wife (K1) is a happy naturalized US citizen
Daughter (K2) has not applied for citizenship, but works & lives in the US on a ten year GC.
*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.
