Review Topic: K1 Visa

My interview was on November 28th, 2018 at 7:30am.

I stayed at an airbnb 3 minutes by and was able to walk to the consulate no problem. I arrived at around 7:10am, there were already 4 people in front of me. The consulate isn't open until 7:30am. Come bundled if you're planning on coming early, which I suggest doing. They won't let you in if you're appointment isn't within 30 minutes. A couple waiting outside were denied entry for a 8:30am appointment, they were told to come back in 30 minutes. When you walk through the entrance you'll be asked for your passport which they will then put a sticker on the back stating your time, date, and time of appointment. You're then given a laminated sheet of paper stating documents you'll need to put in a specific order to save time for the workers.

You'll then proceed towards the metal detectors. I wore no jewelry and only had my phone and wallet with me. They'll take your cellphone and give you a ticket so you can pi... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Wanted to give a quick consulate review for you guys with upcoming interviews:


• My appointment was for 8am. I showed up at like 7:35am. There were a few people outside waiting, so I got in line. They ask for your letter and passport and then you go through security. You receive a laminated paper saying what your number is - I got number 9.
• Up to the 19th floor and we were told to have a seat and wait. They started calling people up to the counter - this part takes the longest. Once my number was called at around 8:30 I think, I went up to the window. The lady was very nice asked to see my documents. She ended up having to go help a coworker for like 10 minutes which was fine, she asked to see all the paperwork on the list they give you and I also provided pay stubs and a letter of employment for my husband, which she kept. I also provided the name police check and the Privacy Act check. She also took fingerprints at this time. Then I was... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Our appointment was set for November 28, 2018 at 9:00AM. We arrived at around 8:20AM, leaving mostly everything including phones back at the hotel since they'll take any electronics that you have on you before being allowed to pass. Wallets and keys and even books were allowed so no worries there. There was no line-up outside the door. A lady directly to the right of the entrance to the embassy greeted us, checked my name for the interview, took both me and my spouse's passports, then stuck a sticker with my name to the back of my Canadian passport before handing both back to us. She also handed me a laminated sheet with a ticket number on it. The laminated sheet contained information on exactly what order they want to see the documents in for both the IR1/CR1 visa and K1 visa as well. At the time this review was written, the order was as such for CR1/IR1 visas:

- Laminated sheet with ticket number on it
- Original passport (they ask you to bring a photocopy as we... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Arrived at consulate at 6:50 am - appointment was at 8 am

One family was already there from 6:45 am

Stood outside until 7:30 am

By then there were 2 families and around 4 applicants

Officer came outside with the board of items that are not allowed passed security - I had my water bottle and phone that were not allowed

He then asked everyone to line up according to their appointment time with their passport and interview appointment letters in hand

I was 8 am

There were three 7:30am appts and three 8am appts

He only let in as many people that could fit inside at a time, everyone else waited outside - bundle up

Once it was my turn, I handed my passport and letter to the next officer (behind the podium), she asked what time my appointment was for, then handed me a laminated sheet with a number - I was #4 - and told me to:

Go through securit... read complete review
