Hey guys, here is a review of how our K1 visa interview went.
I and my fiance arrived at the US embassy in Nairobi on 20th July, 7am. As we walked to the gate, we narrowly survived an accident caused by a bad driver who had previously knocked two people and was trying to run away driving so fast towards our direction. My fiance tripped and fell there by bruising both her knees, elbows and her mouth swelled because she fell on her face. luckily, the speeding car was challenged by the embassy security and we got away.
Once inside the embassy, a big guy approached us and asked if we were together, we said yes. then he asked if we were part of the incident outside the embassy gate and we said yes. then he apologized for what happened and promised to get the embassy medical team to treat the bruises my fiance got. he then took us past the security and then straight to the consular and explained to them why we need to rush through so that the medical team can tr... read complete review

My fiance had her interview on April 20, 2011. The schedualed date was the 19th but we found out that day was only to drop off the visa application and some personal info documents then thay tell you to come the next day for the interview. This embassy is currently undergoing many changes so thinngs may not be exactly the same for those of you with interviews coming up.
The embassy does interviews at 6 30 am and my fiance and i arrived at about 5:30 just to be safe. We were the second people there and waited about an hour before the security guard came to start letting people in. At the 1st security checkpoint both of us were asked for our passports and appointment letters. I had no appointment letter and just explained to them that i was the US citizen petitioner with my fiance for her interview. He let me in but told me that i would not be allowed to go in with my fiance for her interview.
At the second security checkpoint there were 2 lines. 1 on ... read complete review

The major question I have is why this consulate seems constitutionally unable to provide an accurate list of the documents required. I'm not a conspiracy theorist but they seem to almost have a policy that applicants will have to return again and again -- necessitating expensive trips to Nairobi and stays in either overpriced or crappy hotels, major stress, etc.
I am not an anti-government conservative, but if this consulate were in the private sector, they would go out of business very quickly. I am in my own weird way, a booster of America (particularly when the country is criticized by snotty British people in Kenya!) but I will never forgive the U.S. government for the pain they have caused me and my husband and our children with their inefficiency, incompetence, delays, and abusive behavior.

I am not sure why so many people have been generous with their reviews. I hated the US embassy in Nairobi and I hope I never need to go back and I am a US citizen. The only pleasant people there were Kenyan.
When arriving at the embassy I was almost not allowed in. I told the guard that I had traveled all the way from the US for my fiancé's interview and she decided to let me pass. We didn't get there super early like everyone else mentions, so we had to wait in line. I don't mind waiting in line.
Somewhere along the line someone had reversed the month and day of my husband's birthday in the computer system. I checked for the 3rd time when we were asked to approach the desk if it had been fixed and it hadn't. The woman told me she would fix it at that very moment. When we were done with her we had to wait a long time for the interview. As we waited, we could hear all the other interviews. They were so cruel and asked rude questions. They obv... read complete review
