Member Reviews:

Consulate Review: Vancouver, Canada
Review Topic: K1 Visa
Event Description
Review Date : June 10, 2010
Embassy Review : My experience was exactly as described in previous reviews. Allowed in 15 minutes before the appointment. Security station inside hte door. Escorted elevator ride to the visa section. 2nd security station. A short wait to be called to a window to submit the documentation. Sit back down unti the rest of the appointees had submitted their documents, then called to a 2nd window for the interview.

The interviewer was friendly and disarming. He never even asked for primary evidence of our meeting within the last 2 years. The only hiccup was that I needed to get certified copies of beth's divorce (originals were not acceptable)

I returned once I had them (no appointment required), went straight through to the 1st window, and was approved on the spot. Visa in my hands 2 days later. This step was by far the easiest and least stressful.
Rating : Very Good


POE Review: CDN-USA Border
Event Description
Entry Date : 2010-05-11
Embassy Review : I crossed the border at the Blaine, Washington crossing.

I was usered inside and waited in a small line for an Officer to process me. The Officer was strictly business (very curt), but not unfriendly. He had another Officer process the paperwork for importing my car since he was unfamiliar with the procedures. Everything was going along smoothly until the other Officer noted that Acura had sent the wrong compliance letter for my car, stating it met Canadian standards, Not American. Since my car was made in Japan it had no emmissions labels in the engine compartment so he was inclined to deny me entry with the car. the Officer dealing with my I-94 waived that requirement on the provision that I call Acura when i arrived at my destination and have them send me the correct letter and go to the Port Huron crossing and register the car there. Whew!

That momentary panic meant the rest of the time was a complete blur, and I was standing with a completed I-94 in my hands before I knew what happened. lol

My fault for not noticing the documentation error from Acura. The blaine crossing was professional and other-wise pleasant.
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
