| Comments : |
The immigration guys in Houston were not very knowledgeable about the K-1 visa and the entire process. They said I had to get married immediately, because the Green Card MUST be issued during the validity of the K-1 visa. And having said that, the lady totally forgot to give me my I-94 departure record back before she sent me out. |

| Embassy Review : |
The interview was a breeze, very friendly people over there ! I almost spent 3 hours, due to the consul's availability, but everything went great. Just make sure to receive a waiting number that starts with a "W" upon registry. That's the letter for K visas. I accidentally got a "U" number and had to clarify at the first window - which probably cost me 15 minutes of time because they had to transfer my number to the immigrant visa unit.
BTW: I can really recommend the hotel that is mentioned here, "Friedberger Warte". It's literally just around the corner, and the price is unbeatable when booking via ebookers.de. And it's really nice. |

*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.
