Consulate Review: Korea Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : February 20, 2010 Embassy Review : Whole procedure took about 2 hours. 1) Take number 2) Submit all papers 3) Fingerprinted 4) Interview The take-a-number machine is in the DMV looking lobby for all immigrant visas. You just go to a window and talk to official though bullet proof plastic/glass with a microphone. This window is steps 2-4 with ~30-60 min waits in-between. The interview was about 1min. She asked the following questions: How did you meet? Did you visit each other in the last 2 years? How many brothers and sisters does he have? When did you two decide you wanted to get married? They did not accept extra papers into the file. Even papers requested they rejected (they asked for divorce, marriage, and adoption papers in the package). But since she was single (never married) and not-adopted (from family cert) they just refused those documents. I counted what looked like 4 other K1/K3 applicants. 2 of them got blue papers. Since this embassy is like a DMV, you can easily overhear everyone's interviews and interactions with the officers. 1 of the blue slips was because the petitioner didn't include proof of income - even though he was in the military stationed in Korea - seemed since he had 2 dependents it was technically possible he didn't meet the income requirements. They wanted tax returns. Another was because the girl didn't have a police report from Korea (seems she was from Philippines living in Korea). All blue slips can simply return any Wednesday to the consulate to submit the new papers - they don't need to reschedule a new appointment.

*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.
