| Embassy Review : |
Interview for K-1 visa was smooth and overall I spent about 2 hours at the Embassy. Procedures in the Embassy were easy to do and clear explained, and interview by itself took just a few minutes. Сonsul was very nice and positive, my interview wasn't stressful at all. Only one small unpleasant impression - one of the clerks who checking your invitations seems to be not attentive, she mixed up visa type I'm applying for and asked for invitation type which I shouldn't have for K-1 visa, saying that if I will not show it, she probably will not allow me to go to the interview (it was very stressful to hear), but we figured that she just didn't look in my papers enough to see that I'm not a tourist, but fiance.
I got my passport with visa by courier mail within 5 business days including day of the interview.
Overall, I even didn't expect it will be such smooth.
PS: I noticed somebody complained in their reviews about no food, no water while long waiting for their interview, but on the 1st floor of Embassy is vending machine with beverages and snacks, and everybody can use it, free toilet is on the 2nd floor, so Embassy providing everything for applicants to feel good for a few hours. It's slightly chilly in the waiting room though, but I think it's much better, than if it would be stuffy and hot. |

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
