| Embassy Review : |
I had my review on 10-11-2011.
The few days before were a bit of race since I got my interview letter on 10/6. But I managed to get the physical (Dr Slattery) done the day before and I was all set for the interview.
I made it into the consulate at 12:45. I picked my ticket (hard to figure out how many people are in front of you since there are different list depending on the type of visa).
First a lady called me up to pick up my interview letter.
I had to wait around 30-40 minutes and started to stress a little when I saw the amount of documentation some other applicant brought (like a bag full of papers). Finally the lady calls me up again to check and collect all my documents, quickly explains me the process. She then tells me a consulate officer will interview me next.
After a few more minutes I'm called up to another counter where another lady first has me raise my right hand and swear all the information I provide are true. Then she asks me basic questions: When and how did we meet, did I meet her family, did she meet mine, when did I move back to France, have we seen each other since then, when do we intend to get married, do I have a job already in the US.
The then said she approves the visa and will issue the next day :D According to her I will get it in 10 days.
I was out of the consulate at 2:45 pm
Everyone was nice and helpful |

POE Review: Philadelphia

| Embassy Review : |
I arrived on 10/18 in Philadelphia with a K-1 visa and my precious envelope.
I was first inspected by the usual CBP agent at a counter. He asked me a few questions like when and where I met my fiancee, what she was doing and if I had already a job. Then the agent told me to go to the secondary inspection office in the back so they can file my papers.
The office was a bit confusing at first, there was nobody at the front, you had to go to the back to find someone to give your paperwork to. 10-15 minutes later they called me up, explained me I had to get married and send the AOS papers in 90 days... and that was it.
It took overall 15 to 20 minutes more than when you arrive as a visitor (keep that in mind if you have a connection), they didn't really ask me much question (at least not different than the one I was asked at the embassy). The agents were not overly friendly nor suspicious (the usual CBP agent). |

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.
