Member Reviews:

Consulate Review: Guangzhou, China Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : January 6, 2012 Embassy Review : My fiance's interview was scheduled for the beginning of the new year. She had to show up the day before to hand in her paparwork which took 4 hours to do and then was scheduled the next day at 7:30 AM to wait in line for what would be another 3 hours for a 5 minute interview. While the whole point is for Visa approval which was relatively easy the process of getting to that interview was ridiculous. She even had to go through the Immigrant line even though this is a nonimmigrant visa. That was confusing in itself. All-in-all we are happy. She has the visa. But if you have to go through any interview process at all here, please be well prepared and EARLY. Rating : Moderate

*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.
