WOOHOO!!! Had my visa interview at the Vancouver Consulate last Friday, the 13th.... and boy was I nervous as hell just because of the date and it's association with bad luck. There was another K1 visa applicant ahead of me that day - but that was it. She had brought her fiance along and we chatted during the waiting time and it sure helped calm me down. The guy who interviewed me was sooooo nice and friendly, and made the situation so much more comfortable. It was like he went out of his way to calm my nerves. It only took about 5 minutes and he never asked for any evidence - no photos etc.... just asked a few questions like "how did you meet" and "where are you getting married" and if we had met each other's parents. At the end of the briefing he congratulated me, told me I was approved and to come back at 2pm to pick up my visa. I was at the airport that same evening with my visa in my hand and the customs/immigration guy was super friendly and joked around with me the entire time. All I can say is the K1 process is definitely worthwhile - even through all the months of waiting, long-distance, and anxiety.
Just had my wedding dress fitting and am talking with my wedding planner now - sooooo excited about the "BIG DAY".... Roberto & I have waited a LONG time for this~!
YAY!
I want to send a special shout out - THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH to everyone here at Visa Journey for their support -- I would've been lost without you

AWWWWWWW wedding dress fittings and everything!! How cute..... you must be so so happy!
congrats on your visa and your big day approaching.

Congrats on your successful interview. We went thru Vancouver for my K-1 and my daughter's K-2 visas, and we had good experiences both times.

Good luck with your wedding planning and hope your wedding day is everything you are hoping for.

Best wishes.

That sounds great, happy to hear all is well.

YAY! Knew you would breeze right thought Vancouver. They are great, aren't they?! So happy for you, and have fun getting ready for your big day!

Thanks for getting back to us here and letting us know about your successful interview! Congratulations! I'm happy to hear you got the visa the same day. My interview is on a Friday as well, and I was concerned that if they couldn't have it ready by that afternoon then I'd have to come back Monday. I'll maybe make my flight out Monday afternoon, and then for a fee, change my ticket to Friday or Saturday if I get my visa that day.

All the best wishes in your new life in the USA with your loved one!

Carla
