Easy peasy.
Was told can go to Canada or Mexico for up to 30 days as long as status is "fiancee" up to date on I-94. Overly helpful info from US IO, don't you think? |

Consulate Review: Vancouver, Canada
Review Topic: K1 Visa

| Embassy Review : |
Easy peasy.
Have all your documents in a folder or clipped together. Make sure the DS-156 is printed off the computer, not handwritten like I had. If you had handwritten the DS-156, they will ask you to go downstairs to use their computer to print it off. Piece of cake.
1 PM interview:
12.30 parked at Manulife (same building as US Consulate) $3 per half hour (total $12)
1 PM got called by gentleman to make sure I had all my papers
1.25 go downstairs to redo DS-156
2.09 fingerprints with Lady 1
2.16 "interview" with Lady 2
2.25 "interview" with Lady 2 complete
"Come back tomorrow at 2 to pick up your visa."
TA-DA!

*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.
