Consulate Review: Jamaica Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : July 6, 2011 Embassy Review : My sweetie says he got there at at about 7:30/8am for his 9:30 interview. When he got there there was a guy from the Embassy that took his forms and organized them properly and stapled two of his pictures and the visa voucher to the DS 156. Then he went through security similar to airport security. Next he got his number and handed over his appointment letter to a worker. Then he was told to sit and wait in the immigrant visa section. He was called to a window by a Jamaicain lady that checked off that he had all his documents and he also did his biometric finger prints. Then he sat and waitied for his number to be called for his interview. The wait was about an hour. It was packed in the waiting area, had to wait for others to get up for their interview to find a seat. Finally called for his interview and first he had to complete Part 2 of the DS-230. Then he was sword in and asked the following questions: How long have I known my fiancee? Where did we meet? How did we meet? Where does she stay when she comes to Jamaica? What kind of work does she do? How old is she? Has he ever lived anywhere else outside of JA? Where does he work? Do either of you have children? Have you ever been to the US? After the questioning, the officer asked for his passport and gave him a grey ticket to go to the DHL counter to make arrangements. APPROVED! He went to the counter and paid his money and should receive his visa in the next two weeks. He says his interviewer was very patient with him when he missed a yes/no question on the DS-230, Part 2. We had a photo album and much more evidence to accompany the evidence with the petition. They looked at the post petition evidence and the all the required forms in the Packet 4 along with srutiny on the Affidavit of Support. They did not look at the photo album. Our reccomendation is to just be over prepared and organized so there is no question about your love. Above all keep God First! 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.
