Consulate Review: Belgrade, Yugoslavia Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : December 5, 2021 Embassy Review : I arrived in front of embassy at 9:30. Had my appointment scheduled at 10 and around 9:50 they let me inside building. Everything was done by 11. Interview with CO lasted about 10 min and questions were basic : How you met your fiancé, asked if my fiancé speaks serbian, how many times you met in real and when, how long did your fiancé stay each time, whats his job, do you know address of his job, where did i work, asked me to show more pictures since we had one more visit after filing petition, asked me if we had engagement, if we had party, who proposed and when, asked me if i am wearing the ring, if i met his family, their names and do i communicate with them and how often~ what are our wedding plans,, and maybe couple of more questions that i can’t remember at the moment. Overall he was very polite. 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.
