Member Reviews:

Consulate Review: Guangzhou, China Review Topic: K3 Visa Event Description Review Date : August 22, 2008 Embassy Review : My wife was very well prepared. We spent many hours reading all the posts of those who got blue papers and we learned from them. We had "tons" of evidence. The officer asked her for photos of her and her daughter together as she was growing up, he asked for the 1040 Tax forms and he very throughly read a statement I had notorized about my former marriage, our meeting and why we got married as well as me explaining my trips abroad. I think he saw how well prepared we were and moved on to someone else. The intervview lasted about 8 minutes and she got pink. Rating : Very Good

*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.

** Not all cases are transfered
