Rating:  | Review Topic: K1 Visa
Had interview today at 9:30 today and getting to the embassy was indeed a journey but we made it, thank God! So my fiancé and I made if pretty much for 9:30 even thou we left Montego Bay at 4:40am. Arriving at the embassy we were greeted by an employee outside the embassy asking for DS 156/156k/157/160/230, told her ds160 wasn’t on the checklist to bring, we gave her the ds 230 as we had brought 2 copies just in case and gave them to her. She lacks customer service major, even my fiancé notice and was looking at her strange. My fiancé wasn’t allowed to enter inside the embassy which we already knew based on reviews on VJ but was hoping to get lucky. Anyways I went through the security checkpoint and then inside the embassy building, collected my number (the lucky one  After about 10-15mins, my number was called and documents were collected and ds230 was returned to me, I was asked for the Affidavit of Support (I134), I attached with bank statements, assets, tax return with w2 for 2010-2012, they were returned to me with the exception of the Affidavit of Support (I134) ad 2012 tax return. The person who collected my documents appeared to be a CO but maybe working in another area, he ask if I am married which I said no, then he stated persons applied for K1 visa and got married before coming to the interview claiming they didn’t know, we laughed about it. He told me I cannot get married before going to the US which I answered and said we are well aware. He asked me to pay my visa fee ($240US) and to return back to him after. Visa fee was paid and after I went back to the CO, I was given my passport and was told to wait until my name was called. There were approximately 30 persons waiting and I was the last to be called. Finally, around 11:40am my name was called by a young officer, he commented by saying am the last but now the least, I laughed and said hope not. So I was asked the following questions in no specific order:
How did you meet?
Where is he (my fiancé) originally from?
What does he do?
Where have we been in Jamaica?
How did he propose?
How many times have I been to the US?
Have I ever been anywhere else outside of the US?
Have I ever been arrested?
If my fiancé has any children
None of my supporting documents were looked at; updated proof of ongoing relationship, bank statements or anything else from what I mentioned previously. I was given back our original photos. Overall was a great experience but the time was tedious.
