Consulate Review: Tokyo, Japan Review Topic: K3 Visa Event Description Review Date : June 20, 2006 Embassy Review : Yes i was with my wife on our first interview. It was short. I thought this was the only one we would have but apparently not for she had to go on yet another. The questions were pretty simple and straight forward. First her and then me.They separated us for this. My only suggestion would be is that the embassy staff submit duplicate instructions to both of us. It was difficult for my wife to follow detailed and complex issues involving documents ,etc. She would have to email them to me so i could read through them and send responses back...I think if the embassy could simply email to both parties it would have solved some important issues quickly...Japan is a wonderful country and filled with hospitality.

*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.
