Consulate Review: Peru Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : October 10, 2005 Embassy Review : First interview went ok everything we had sent in was correct. They did take original birth and divorce certificates Was denied because USC was no present for interview(yes it not legal but it still happened) Second interview arrive a little early. Watched window 8(the death window) everyone out of there got rejection letters all day(the pink slip of death). Was called about 90 minutes late. The lost her packet, sat down 1 hour later called again found packet and ask for more proof. We told them we had none because you requested none. Sat down again waited for over 2 hours for final interview. Left the embassy in shock when we was approved. (DID not look happy in embassy because 90% of the people were going to window 8 Another note all male USC or fiancee in the embassy waiting room had the pink papers of death. Rating : Moderate

*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
