We scheduled the interview on the 12th of September at 6:30am, exactly a year and a day when my husband (boyfriend at the time) was interviewed for a K1 visa.


05:30am - We arrived at the embassy.

06:15am - They started to let the people in with the 6:30am appointment. All you need is the front page of the appointment confirmation and passport. They asked who I was, and told them that I'm the petitioner so they let me in as well.

07:01am - We actually got inside.

07:35am - Husband got called for biometrics.

09:16am - Got called for the documents. We got called in inside an interview room, which got me real nervous, but the Filipino guy was awesome. He was so cool. He told me to pay the fee, which by the way increased by $95!

09:30am - We got out of the isolated interview room.

10:13am - Got called for the ACTUAL interview. My husband took the oath. The consul asked him who did he marry. Then, he asked me where do I live and who do I live with. Then, he asked me where do I live in the states. Then, he said, "You have to establish your domicile in the United States.." and then I told him, "I have my bank statements here.." he interrupted and asked if it was still open, and told him, that yes, it is. I also told him that I have my ticket going back to the states, he asked when is the departure date and I told him. I was trying to give it to him and he didn't take it and said it was okay. Then he said, "ALL YOUR DOCUMENTS ARE COMPLETE, PLEASE TAKE YOUR SEAT AND WE'LL CALL YOU BACK."

10:24am - We sat back down.

10:45am - Number got called to line up on Window 69.

11:00am - We were finally at the window, and was just told to go home, that the visa will be delivered to us.


Few advices..

-for those who ARE NOT with their petitioner, it is best to bring a lot of pictures and evidence. We weren't asked for any of those. No evidence or anything, but it's still best to bring a lot of those.

-Be alert! The numbers that are called are not in order, and some numbers that are alike may be called at the same time.

-Listen carefully for the instructions. People at the embassy, do NOT like repeating themselves, as they already do everyday, at different appointment times.

-Just take your passport and appointment confirmation out when entering the embassy. Like I said, they do not like repeating themselves.

-If you're not bringing your petitioner with you, DO NOT bring any cellphones or electronic devices. There are vendors that will tell you that you can leave your phones with them, but I wouldn't trust them.
