    | Consulate Review: Ghana Review Topic: K1 Visa
 |   
    | Event | Description |    
    | Review Date : | December 1, 2021 |    
    | Embassy Review : | On the day of the interview my fiancé was asked a few questions about us, how did we meet, how many times we’ve seen each other, etc. When I had submitted the petition we had only seen each other 2x but we had photos from 3 meetings so the interviewer was stuck on that until my fiancé explained that I was there earlier this year to visit. He let it go and circled back to that question, luckily my fiancé had my fight itineraries and my actual printed tickets and showed him, as well as my passport entry stamps. No other questions were asked, nothing about my job, nothing about finances, etc. 
 Overall the experience was good. He was told to expect his visa in a week and  a week later it was issued.

*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.
