| Comments : |
My point of entry was Miami and I had to wait three hours inside the immigration room. And you are not allowed to use your cell phone and any other electronic device.
My flight arrived at 7:30 pm. and I was able to leave the room at 10:30 pm. The wait is because the Miami immigration its very busy and they have to check to everyone.
at the end the immigration officer told me how much time I have to get married and the last day of permanency in the US with the K1 type of Visa, he was very gentle. |

| Embassy Review : |
My experience was really good!
My interview was at 9:00 am and I get there at 7:00 am. There was a lot of people already doing the first line in the parking lot. There they will give you a Little chat about all the things you can not enter to the building (the same as in the confirmation email). Also they told you to have on hand your current Passport, the DS-160 confirmation page and the interview confirmation email.
Then I went to another check point where they check your appointment and they give you a sticker with your name on it and the type of visa you are requesting.
After that you go to a belonging checking and then to pick a black box for your belonging and to the final check point. Here they told me to go to the immigration section and they guide you there.
At the immigration section I took a ticket number and wait for being called. The first interview was done by a Venezuelan young lady who asked me for my police records, birth certificate and the medical report, then she asked me the following questions:
What is your fiancés phone number?
What do you do for living?
where do you work?
what does he do for living?
are you divorced?
is your fiancé divorced?
do you have any kids?
does your fiancé have any kids?
Then she told me to sit and wait for another interview. After 20 minutes an American man Consul called me and ask me the same questions as the lady.
He made me rise my right hand and made me swear that by the United States rules I was telling him all the truth. Then he told me that my visa was approved :-)
I was out of the Embassy at 10 am |

*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.
