The agent mainly asked about how we met and how we decided to get married. He wasn't as concerned with providing joint bills and banking info although he did take the copies I brought of our shared bank account and cell phone plan. He also made copies of all our wedding photos we brought (around 12). The agent did not tell us we were approved at the interview. He said he needed a day or two to look it over and that we will receive notice in the mail. We received an approval email the next day. After a year and 3 months of filing paperwork and waiting around for a response, we are very glad it's all over.

Consulate Review: Israel Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : October 14, 2016 Embassy Review : My Fiance had a good experience at the embassy. The staff was friendly and mainly asked him questions about how we met and details about our marriage plans. The only issue was that his Police certificate had not yet arrived at the embassy (he sent ordered the police certificate 20 days prior to the appointment). They approved the visa and took his passport, however, they cannot begin to process the visa until they receive the police certificate. Rating : Very 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.
