Consulate Review: Vancouver, Canada
Review Topic: K1 Visa

| Embassy Review : |
I arrived at the consulate about 20 minutes early, and went to the front of the line. They let me right in, which ended up being great, since I was the first one there, and 1st to be processed.
There are two security checkpoints –much like at the airport. I had everything in one clear zip up folder and it was easy to search. Security took no time. One checkpoint is at the entrance, and one is when you get off the elevator.
Then you are told to wait in this narrow little hallway with 4 chairs, facing a counter. There are tons of people waiting for other visas, but the K visas wait around the corner.
They give you a paper with directions to put your documents in a specific order, and then they call you up to go through everything. She keeps all the originals at this point, but they give them back to you (except the RCMP report) after the interview and keep the photocopies (I had provided them).
She will ask you to go down the hall to pay your $100 USD to the cashier, and return the receipt to her. I imagine she then takes your file over to the consular officer who goes through it. They took their time!
Eventually, someone calls your name and fingerprints your two index fingers and tells you to wait again for the visa officer. He called me up and the interview was conducted through the window, like a bank transaction, only more fun. He asked:
How/when did you meet this guy?
You’ve been together the whole 5 years?
(He noted what my fiancé does for a living, but it wasn’t really a question.)
What do you do for a living?
We chatted briefly about me having to leave my job, and then he said congratulations, I jumped for joy and returned to work.
He did not ask to see any of evidence of relationship - no photographs, no phone bills, no emails, no letters. But I had included a few photos in the initial application though.
Picking up the visa was a breeze – you just return, and they give you the instructions about the envelope and the one entry.
Ta daa!

*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.
