| Comments : |
We were surprised the AOS took so long after our good luck with the K1 visa. We received nothing for 11 months after my wife submitted the application. We put in service requests a couple of times. On the phone, the NBC told us, yes it's outside of the time frame and they put in the request. We called back a few weeks later and they said it was at the local field office and we should receive something from them. We never did. A inquiry from our congressperson indicated that the local field office seemed to have approved our case for not needing an interview. We got an RFE after 10.75 months for the USC to send proof of their citizenship on a Monday. Sent off the proof on a Tuesday. My wife got an e-mail on that Thursday saying the card was being produced! I wish the system had been more transparent and kept us up to date. It makes me think they didn't even open our case to have a look till after 10 months were up or something. Who knows? |

Consulate Review: Guangzhou, China
Review Topic: K1 Visa

Description |
| Review Date : |
July 3, 2012 |
| Embassy Review : |
I wasn't there but asked my fiancee for details.
Document intake -
This went pretty smooth. They asked her to take the covers off the birth, unmarried, and police certificates. They asked her to affix her passport photo to the DS 156. She got there 2 hours early and so got a low number for interviewing the next day.
Interview -
Lasted 5 minutes. I thought it was interesting the interviewer was an American woman but she conducted the interview in Chinese. They only asked to see our photos, and said they were cute. Didn't ask to see any financial documents which surprised me. They asked how we met. They asked my fiancee some questions about her education because she has a master's degree. She was out by 9 30 am with approval! |

*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.
