Review Topic: K1 Visa

The interview went very much as everyone says - lots of stress and waiting around not doing much, followed by the joy of the statement: "Welcome to the United States!" There were basically two parts - a "screener" who was very methodical checking our documents, and the consular officer who did the actual interview. Both were professional and handled our case with compassion. We are APPROVED!

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Got there in by one, and was one of three people to be interviewed. I was last. Handed in forms, did fingerprints, then was called up to the window. Spoke with the woman, Hong, and she was very nice. Asked basic questions, hardly looked at proof of relationship. We were worried about the finance part, but we have enough assets that it satisfied her. Visa was approved. She also smiled and laughed with me.

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Following along with what others have advised about the Vancouver consulate, it really hasn't changed from what other people have posted before me.

The entrance is on the side of the building, look for the security guard in a white shirt. There is a Starbucks in the bottom of the building. If you arrive early you can kill time there. Since it was summer time, we waited at the park on side of the building. Not really a park, but there are some benches were you can sit. It allowed us to see the entrance door and keep an eye on things.

Arrived at 12.30pm for interview at 1.00pm. The security guard asked if we were there for a K1 interview, told us to come back in 15 minutes. We sat on the benches and then 10 minutes later the security guard waived us offer.

She had to take off her light jacket, the security guard fumbled through the pockets. Put everything and I mean everything in to the plastic bin before stepping through the metal d... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Arrived early and was second in line.
No problems at security - just like any airport these days.
Entered elevator - remember to face the back as they open from there.
Sat for a bit and visited with others.
Called to first of two interviews - paperwork clarified, with slight changes, fingerprints taken, and Xpresspost envelope given.
Returned to lobby to await second interview. Sworn in. He asked how we met(playing cards on internet), when did you meet face to face 2001, when were you married - July 2008, oh a long courtship - yes. What does your husband do? Works for IRS - small joke about not wanting to be audited. Well, based on the information provided you are granted a conditional visa ( or something to that effect.) Your visa will come in approximately 2 weeks.
Congratulations!

Review Topic: Direct Consular Filing

I, the USC, wasn't able to go to the interview myself because of a previously scheduled business trip, but my husband just went today and was approved. Here is his really short recap of what happened:

Got to the building at 7:00, first one there by about 5 minutes. At about 7:30 they unlocked the doors and I went through security (like an airport), handed away my passport and had it returned to me with my new letter "A" and was told to proceed downstairs to wait for the security guard at the elevator.

At 8:00 I was called to the document window. She was friendly but a little disappointed with me when I told her I didn't have copies of my originals along with the actual originals. She made copies for me anyway ("just this one time"). She went through the I-864 and asked for various supporting documents - the 2008 tax return and any US bank statements (I think she had just overlooked the answer to Question 15 [we had written USA - see attached, with a l... read complete review
