Consulate Review: Guangzhou, China Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : February 13, 2019 Embassy Review : Interview went very smooth and they did not ask any questions at all. She sent sat down and waited while documents were looked over and then she was told congratulations. After she waited for an hour it took 5 minutes with CO to be done. She was kind of pissed off because she really wanted to answer some questions! 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.

** Not all cases are transfered
