Consulate Review: Lithuania

| Embassy Review : |
Embassy responded very quickly. After receiving documents from NVC, their packets were mailed to my fiance ASAP. Vilnius embassy allows applicants to return documents via e-mail. My fiance received a response to her response within 12 hours, and her interview was scheduled for the next day.
The interview went smoothly. The embassy staff were very friendly and well-prepared. She showed up early and was accepted early. Some embassy staff speak Lithuanian and may be native. The officer/consul was American.
She was able to return to the embassy 3 days after to pick up her passport w/ the visa and sealed packet. |

POE Review: JFK

Description |

| Embassy Review : |
We arrived at JFK Terminal 7 from Kiev on Ukraine International Airlines (from Vilnius) on 09/27/2016.
We were fortunate to have been upgraded to premium economy and were some of the first ones off the plane and through customs. I asked someone at the beginning of the USC and non-USC lines which line we (my fiance and I) should use, since I am a USC and my fiance is accompanying me on a K1. I was directed through the non-USC line.
There was no wait and we were greeted warmly by Officer Grant. He was friendly and polite, asking my fiance and I few questions each. One misdirected question may have been asked to my fiance -- where she would be working. My fiance responded truthfully/appropriately saying nowhere until she receives proper approvals.
Office Grant informed us that to complete paperwork, we would be directed to the secondary processing area. We were escorted there and found ourselves among some ill, disgruntled and confused people.
Our wait in secondary processing was <10 minutes. We were called ahead others that had been waiting longer. The officer (not Grant) at the counter was very curt. My fiance was handed her passport and we waited a couple seconds not sure of what the next step would be -- he got impatient and said something to the effect of "that's it, you can go".
It took longer to wait for our baggage.
We declared items on our customs form. We went through secondary inspection there as well and passed through with nothing more than a few questions asked.

*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.
