Review Topic: K1 Visa

Super easy. I stressed out way too much! My fiance came with me. We arrived at the consulate around 12:30 and were asked to wait 15 minutes before entering. Cleared two security check points and was told to wait in a waiting room. We sat for a few minutes before my name was called (the called me by my name...you do not need to get a number). They called me up to a booth, took all of my information, and told me to sit down. We waited about 45 more minutes and then they took my fingerprints and asked me to sit back down again. About 15 minutes after that, I was called up to another booth for the interview. The woman asked me about how and when we met, what he does for work, what I do for work and about how much money we both make. She BRIEFLY looked over my proof of relationship stuff and then simply said, "okay, visa approved" :-D

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Interview Date: May 26th, 2009
Medical: May 27th, 2009.

Everyone else's accounts of the details are pretty much how it went, they will collect your documents @ Window B and tell you that it could be an hour and a half wait to be interviewed. (Even though there was only 3 people being interviewed for K visas) I had the same lady it seems as another VJ member that interviewed the week before. One lady did not have her documents collected right away although she was the first person to arrive out of the three because she sat in front of the interviewing windows that said "non-immigrant" visas. She did not sit in front of the windows on the left where you get your documents collected and she was the last to be interviewed.

The interviewer had to ask me to come back on Wednesday in order for her to check that the misdemeanor that I was convicted of did not carry a minimum sentence of over 1 year. Even though I did not serve any jail time and paid a $225... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Hi All,
We had our interview earlier this week (05/26), in Montreal. My wife was the one being interviewed for the CR-1. Wanted to post a review for those of you who are getting ready for their interviews. Posting a somewhat lengthy review just so I don't miss any details that might be helpful to folks.

We got to the US consulate at 6:45AM - it was freezing cold (especially after the 90+ degree temperatures in Texas). There were a couple of folks already waiting there ahead of us. At 7:30, the security folks opened the door. Pls be aware that they do not allow you to carry any type of bag/handbag inside. We had a laptop bag with all of our papers/documents in it but they did not allow us to take it inside. They let my wife go inside while I had to walk back a few blocks to the parking lot to put the bag back in the car - wasn't much fun walking in the cold. You need to carry all your documents in a clear plastic bag - they do allow ladies purses inside. The securi... read complete review
