At the port of entry, the officer asked when and where I was getting married and what my occupation is. Earlier, on completion of my medical tests, I was given an sealed envelop with a CD of the medical report - the officer at the port of entry said it was not required. He only needed the sealed envelop which I received when I collected my passport with the fiance visa. He stamped my passport with an expiry date 3 months from my date of entry. This meant I was supposed to get married and apply for EAD, AOS, etc. within those 90 days. Straightforward and professional experience which did not take more than five minutes. |

Pleasant interview experience - the officer asked same questions from the I-485 form, evidence of marriage, expenses shared together, photos and my SSN. It was over in 10 minutes. Advisable to go atleast 30 minutes earlier to get through lines, waiting, etc. |

| Embassy Review : |
It was a short and pleasant interview - the officer asked me questions about how my fiancee and I met, a few personal details about her and her family and why we aren't getting married in India. It was over in less than 5 minutes. However, the waiting time between collecting your documents and the interview was almost 90 minutes. I'm not sure if K-visa applicants get called towards the end but I did notice those with tokens much later than mine getting called earlier than me. The visa officer was courteous and apologized for the wait. Overall, a very straightforward, professional and painless experience. |

*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.
