Straight forward! Advised to go to new visa line (my fiancé could join me) the border officer was straight to the point, told us my fiancé couldn’t wait whilst my K1 was processed, which was fine, i met him at baggage claim.
The officer took my big envelope from the embassy (he didnt want my chest x-ray cd), signed some paperwork, stamped my passport & drew a line through my visa, asked me one question; “do you have any food?†Took my right hand fingerprints & my picture then said i was all set & off i went to baggage claim :) |

Had my K1 Fiancé visa interview 20th July 2018 all my worrying was for nothing! Honestly, the most friendly, relaxed atmosphere. (I now believe everyone who said it previously LOL)
My appointment was at 11:30am, I got to the Embassy 10:20am and sat by the water surrounding the embassy with my Mum before she headed off to wait for me.
At 10:50am I walked to the entrance, a nice friendly girl told me to come back earliest at 11:10am, so I sat back on some benches and waited.
Went back up at 11:10am and she let me through to airport style security. I had a small backpack and a folder of all my documents, (had to take my Pandora bracelet off but earrings and engagement ring was kept on) no issues, went through and walked upto 3 roped lines saying where to stand depending on your time of appointment. There was no staff there so myself and 2 other people were confused and waited for someone to notice us LOL which they did within 5 minutes.
Walked through, given a ticket number stuck on my appointment email and then directed to go to level 1, turn left, then left again.
Sat down and within a minute my number was called (time now was 11:20ish) - Went to the booth as directed and a friendly american lady had small chat about where im moving, how much snow Massachusetts gets LOL and then she started asking me questions and asking for the relevant documents to the answers such as: passport sized photograph, birth certificate, ACRO police certificate, affidavit of support and any extra financial evidence from my fiancé (I gave her his employer letter, W2, IRS tax transcript, last 2 payslips, I offered a letter from his bank but she said that's not needed and what was given was absolutely fine)
She then took my finger prints, 4 fingers first then 2 thumbs. Also gave me back my chest x-ray from my medical and told me to keep it safe and take with me when i move. She asked me when im planning on moving also. Then she said okay take a seat and wait for your number to be called again for your interview.
Time now was around 11:35ish and there was 5 other people sitting around me with close numbers, we seemed to all be waiting for the one consular officer interviewing our area that day.
Around 30 mins passed and I was called, at this point I had no nerves atall, I think because of how relaxed the first lady made me feel.
Went to the booth, a really lovely friendly toned american guy began my interview, first he said lets start with the oath, listened to what he said and held my right hand & said yes.
Then the 'interview' started, it was honestly more of a general conversation, almost like telling a new friend you had just met about your relationship, very laid back and fluent conversation; questions he asked were -
How did we meet and when?
When did we meet in person?
Have I been to the USA and how many times?
How many times has Jake been to the UK?
What was my longest trip to the USA and when?
Where is Jake from?
What does Jake do for a living?
When do I plan on moving?
Just as I finished my last answer, he said, "I've just approved your visa, it will be with you within 2 weeks" I said "Brilliant, thank you so much!" he said "Your welcome"
He was constantly nodding and looking at his screen when i was answering the questions, it was such a painless interview and i cant believe i was out just over an hour in total! If your relationship is genuine than you dont sweat it at all! |

My AOS from a K1 fiancé visa interview was at the newer field office in Lawrence, MA (It is not listed on the drop down menu)
Interview: 30th April 2019
Me & my husband checked in at the reception just after 2pm, friendly receptionist, she took my interview letter & stamped it with a ticket number, we was told to go sit in the big waiting room & wait for my name to be called.
Around 40 minutes passed & my name was called, I walked over to the officer & she said just me to come through, my husband had to wait in the waiting room.
Went into her office, before I sat down I took the oath. She then began to ask me to confirm name, date of birth & asked for my passport.
She took my left & right index finger prints & a photo (god I must look awful on the photo as the camera was low & pointing upwards, nice double chin mugshot I bet LOL)
Then we went through my I-485 application, asking me all the no no no no questions & ticking off paperwork.
Then she said "so im curious, how did you two meet?" I told her: "through online gaming, on Twitch, a streaming website for mainly gaming" as I was finishing off that sentence, she she "Oh I know, because I'm a gamer myself" she was very friendly and It put me at ease.
She was finished typing on her computer & said all done! You will have your green card within 10 days.
I left her office, wished her a good day, likewise & I went to the waiting room to my husband, he stood up to go in but I told him she doesn't need to interview him! We are in total shock but a very good kind of shock!
Painless interview & so grateful.

*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.
