Consulate Review: Tunisia
Review Topic: K1 Visa

| Embassy Review : |
Embassy personnel was very helpful and professional during the entire processing of the K1 petition and Fiance Visa. The Interview was conducted in French and lasted 15 mns. Questions asked were the kind one expects for this type of Interview and one can read on this Board. All phone inquiries - 3 total - were either answered right during the call or followed by an email. Visa approval didn't occur the day of the Interview but four weeks later due to an Administrative Processing period. Embassy personnel took our call and reassured us at this stage. After AP, visa was granted without having to provide further information. One small observation: Packet 3 sent by Consulate indicates Visa applicants to provide proof of financial support but it turns out that no Affidavit of Support is needed for K1 Visas. All in all, we would rate the Consulate services of the American Embassy in Tunisia with the highest score. |

POE Review: JFK

| Embassy Review : |
Processing of K1 Visa took longer than expected. 3 1/2 hrs. My fiance arrived on a Saturday mid-afternoon at JFK but there was no Customs Agents, who could interview / process him in French or Italian for a long while. He saw 3 agents, and the 3rd one, who my fiance thinks was a supervisor, completed the process and granted him the Visa and EAD. Aside from the wait, my Fiance feels he was treated fairly and professionally. Just no agent to clearly communicate with. |

*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.
