Consulate Review: Amsterdam, Netherlands Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : March 27, 2014 Embassy Review : We came to the interview together, but the American fiancee wasn't allowed to enter the embassy. They said "Applicants only," which wasn't what we were expecting from earlier reviews. But, it otherwise went very smoothly, they started letting people inside at least 15 min early, and all was done within 45 min. Obviously leave your phone at home, or in a locker somewhere (train station, one of the museums?) They let in the immigrant visa people first (calling them by name), then the non-immigrant visa people. They didn't look at our evidence of relationship. We were a bit worried that they would want to see tax returns (we only had an employee letter for the evidence of employment/salary), but it was fine. Rating : Good

Local US CIS Office Review: San Francisco CA Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : November 5, 2014 Embassy Review : It was really as easy as we could have hoped. We took BART into the city and had a short 10 min walk to the office. We arrived 30 minutes early and they called us in probably 45 minutes after that. He had all the documentation we had sent in (including original photos) in a folder in front of him. The officer asked us for our IDs (passports, DL & my husband's work permit) and then checked some details of our paperwork (asked who our other sponsor was, whether we had been married before/had kids). My husband had to say no to a long list of questions having to do with terrorism, drug trafficking and communism. He asked us about how we met. We only had a joint credit card and wedding and honeymoon photos as new proof of our marriage. He took the credit card printouts and looked at the photos (but let us keep them). He asked both of us to say "one thing that annoyed us about the other," and to identify the other's parents in the photos that we had provided. But those were the only "test" type questions. Afterwards he stamped a big red "APPROVED" stamp into our folder and told us we had been approved. We weren't expecting to hear a certain answer right away, so that was exciting. He said the green card could take a month to arrive in the mail. The only stressful part was when a phone started vibrating in the office and he asked us if we had not turned off our phones like he asked us to. But it turned out to be his phone... Harassment Level : 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.
