Consulate Review: Amman, Jordan Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : September 27, 2019 Embassy Review : Very unhappy with our experience at the Amman Embassy. Aside from the fact that they booked us during a Holiday and rescheduled us 1 month later, they were not prepared on day of interview. My fiance was asked about 15 questions. One of the questions was if we did kiteb kitab which we do not do being Christian. My fiance said "No, engagement only." She asked again, "So you did not do Kiteb Kitab?" Unbelieveable!! Had the interviewer reviewed our petition, she would clearly see we are Christian and therefore do not do kiteb kitab. After breezing through the questions, she asked him to have a seat and wait to be called. He was called to the last window and the man asked for my fiances phone number then gave him back his passport said "We will call you soon". No information. No papers. No nothing. Two days later I emailed the Embassy and they told me they will call him shortly with information they require from him. Why not ask at the time of interview????? Very unhappy. So I went into the Embassy myself the following week and asked for a Supervisor. I voiced my complaint against the interviewer and the intake person at the window, with the supervisor standing behind her, told me not to worry about the questions asked and to just wait for a phone call soon. Nothing as of yet. I'll be emailing twice a week until they can send their request so to avoid additional delays. Until then, we show we are in Administrative Processing. Very very upset with how our interview and follow up was handled. Rating : Very Poor

*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.
