Review Topic: K1 Visa

Since I am on the same interview date as TorontoGuy and KristinL, I will just write what’s different.

-The officer that let us in to the building was all serious, but the guy at the security screening did smile when he told me to empty all my pockets and I replied that I only have garbage(plastic bag from my breakie) in my pockets. He still put the tray with my garbage through the x-ray machine then helped me throw it out, haha.
-KristinL/TorontoGuy, hapycloud, myself, amberL and this elder couple were the first group to go up to 19th floor. In the elevator, the officer asked us to give him our waiting number, the list and our passport, and keep our paper work to ourselves until get called to the window.
-I kept my x-ray and xpress envelop as is, but later found out that I could’ve folded the xpress envelop in half because that’s what they did to fit it in their file.
-Questions that I was asked at my interview:
• How we met and wh... read complete review

People there were really nice and the interview was a breeze. They asked questions about our work, what we make per year, how we met and when we were getting married and if we had some evidence of relationship and I showed them what I had gathered since submitting the I-129. The entire process took about 2 hours, most of it just sitting and waiting. They took fingerprints there as well. Best thing... have your forms organized and exactly what they ask for.

Review Topic: K3 Visa

I read and STUDIED the Montreal Consulate reviews before my husband and I ventured off to Montreal for our K-3 interview on June 11th 2009 at 8:30am. We stayed at the Hyatt which was about a 5 minute walk to the consulate entrance. The best advice given is to be the first ones to line up! We were there at 6:45am, the 2nd couple showed up around 7:05 and then about a dozen others by the time the doors were opened at 7:30.
My husband and I had our passports and interview letter handy and the guard looked a little surprised that he didn't have to ask for them. He asked my hubby what his relationship to me was and what he did for a living then let us in, we took our coats off and went through security while our stuff went through ex-ray. Again, the guards were impressed with us and one said, "Wow, you guys were really informed of what you can and can't bring in here!" That eased my nerves just a touch. We got the famous letter A clipped to our documents and had a seat... read complete review

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!
