Review Topic: K1 Visa

We got there early, 6:30ish. Another VJer was in front of us. People didnt start showing up until after 7am, then there was a steady stream of them.

They opened the doors just after 7:30am. Once through security we waited until 7:50am to go up in the elevator. We were the only ones facing the right way. The security guard pointed out that it would open the other way.

Once in the holding area we only waited for 10-15 minutes before they called us up to booth 9. Once there she directed Jay to go pay the bill. She asked me for...
Birth Certificate plus copy.
Passport and copy.
Police Check.
I-134 and supporting documents.
Letter of intent from both of us.

She asked me to sign a paper but never asked me to review anything. She took my fingerprints with no problem.

We returned to the waiting area and waited there until roughly 9:10am. She got us to swear to tell the truth and took a finge... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Hi guys!
so finally I have my visa in my pocket!

at was at 6h in front of the door and at 7h30 they open the door ( at least 30 people after me was waiting in line....be there early!)
Everybody knows how it work when you show up to the window, the check up your paper and do you finger print. Everyting was ok with my paper but I did a form by hand, they ask me to do it on the computer (in the waiting room.
the two people in front of me at the interview stay in the room for not even 5 minutes. My turn come, and I stay 10 minutes more....
Bring a lot of letter and picture schowing that you know good your fiancé. I only know my fiancé for 1 year and a half and the lady has difficulty to beleive that was my fiancé. I brouth picture, but because they didn't have a date in the back, she didn't beleive me. after to try to convence her, she let me in.
Welcome to united states!

good luck guys!

Review Topic: Other Experience

It's about time I updated my time line.
My interview itself was great, the person interviewing me was very personable.
The process was long, as I traveled from the island to the mainland and had to time ferries and taxis etc.
I only had a few setbacks and I just dealt with them as best I could.
The first one was my shoes, I had traveled over in dress clothes wearing runners for comfort and planning on changing to shoes when I got there, BUT you cannot bring shoes into the building, so I casually opted to ditch the shoes, they were killing my feet and when I got to the interview I realized that no one was dressed for business anyway.
The second one was timing, the Vancouver Consulate closed for the Olympics and set us back a few weeks because we were missing an "original" document. The document was the divorce papers of Micheal's first wife. I tried to talk my way around it explaining that he did get married a second time and that I am sure he was di... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

My appointment was at 13:00 and I arrived about 15 minutes early and was cleared through security with ease as I had followed the instructions about what not to bring in the interview confirmation letter. I only had my binder and folders with me which they searched through and then I was on my way up to the Nonimmigrant visa floor. There were only 3 other k-1 interviews that day and I was directed to a waiting room to wait until my name was called. I was the first of three so I shared my experiences with the 2 other k-1ers after each of the procedures.

The Process:
1. Window 2:Document check: If you have everything in the packet 3 checklist, this goes relatively easily. The only thing that caught me off guard was that they asked me for a COPY of my birth certificate even though this is NOT listed on the checklist. This was not a problem in the end, as the officer just said, that’s fine. I’ll just make a copy. (done!) After all my documents were collec... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

We arrived at the Montreal consulate at 6:30 a.m. We parked in the Safeway parking lot on the right hand side of the street just before the consulate and it cost $15 for the day. There was one couple with a little boy ahead of us. No one else arrived until 7 a.m. First a mom with 2 kids and then another married couple (I am assuming CR-1 since he said he was from Texas and she was from Toronto with a Philipino passport). The doors opened at 7:35 a.m. There was a glass company there to replace the doors actually so I think that is why security opened the doors so early. We got letter B as we went through security. Rom had some metal something that they needed to "wand" him for. We actually went down the stairs first to the waiting area for the elevator. The "A" couple came, then the married couple, and then another couple I didn't see outside when they let us in at 7:35 a.m. The security guard gave us a brown laminated sheet with instructions about what would happen today. We waited unt... read complete review
