Consulate Review: Barbados Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : April 24, 2008 Embassy Review : Got to the Embassy rather early. My interview was at 9. They call for the 9 Appointments. I went in got scanned and went in and gave the information to a lady at the window. I then sat and she called me again. I went through all the information with her and forgot to fill out the other side of the DS 230 form but the lady was patient and helpful enough to allow me to fill it out the form....It was so nerve racking that I couldn't find my birth certificate and it was right infront of my eyes. I she then gave me a paper and told me to go and pay at the cashier window. I then paid got the receipt and went back to the lady and gave her the information. I sat again and awaited to be called. After a few mins I was called by another lady. She took my finger prints then I swore in. Asked me what did I love about my fiance asked what kind of job she does. And then said Mr. Allen looks like everything is in order, you are approved....I was so elated. She informed me that if I had my ID card on me that I could travel back to St.Vincent on that and leave my information at the DHL desk in the Embassy to have my passport delivered to me. It should take up to 7 business days. All in all it wass not too bad. Rating : Good

POE Review: San Juan Event Description Entry Date : 2008-04-16 Embassy Review : Got there handed the guy the documents he told me to follow him. After waiting for about 10 mins the lady told me that I had to marry within 90 days of entering the US and she made a joke stating that now is a good time if I want to change my mind. Harassment Level : Low

*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
