This site and those who have shared their experiences were very helpful to myself and my fiance to navigate the K-1 visa process.... knowledge is power and all of that. We reached a happy milestone in getting a K-1 Visa (the interview was on June 10), and we wanted to share the information in case it would be helpful to others. Unfortunately, I was not able to be with my fiance Lucy when she went to Guangzhou for the interview, but did what I could to help her prepare and get her the materials that we felt were needed to be successful in getting a Visa. Though our experience with the interview was like that of some others, in that the interview was pretty short and the questions not too difficult, I think that is partly due to putting in the time and paying attention to details from the very beginning, from the time of preparing the application and all the materials that went with it for the USCIS, through preparing well for the interview. Though I feel good about the work that we... read complete review

I was not at the interview. The following is my SO's description of what happened. She arrived at the consulate at 7am and lined up in the immigrant line(the security guard will announce which line to go into, there were 4 lines total). At 7:30am the security guards started to let people in. She was directed with the rest of the people to the 4th floor. She went through a security check and had to hand in her cell phone. She was directed to the interview area and everybody has to recite a US vow. She was called by name to get her interview number. Then called by number to get fingerprinted and then called by number to hand in her paperwork (financial support, single certificate and birth certificate). Wait again and called again by her number to be interview by the SO. The VO was a very nice african american woman. She asked my SO when did we meet, where did we meet, what does she do for work, when we got engaged, and how we comminucate(not language but webcam site). Very... read complete review

Based on the information of my wife, her experience of the consulate is as follows. The night before her interview (yesterday) she did not sleep and consequently was the second person in line at 5:30 am or so. She waited for quite some time until interviewees were allowed inside at 7:15 or so. It seems as though once inside everyone went through multiple security checks. they then had to swear an oath for the interview. It seems there was then some sort of pre-check where local (non-consular) officials checked over everyone's paperwork to make sure all was in order. My wife gives a bad impression of these people. (She also said many were thinking that these local people were going to interview them for visas! it seems this was a fond hope for many) Having been disabused of this notion, they entered into the interview room. From what my wife told me, people of all immigrant visa types are interviewed there (brothers sisters, etc. in addition to spouses). The wife sat in the f... read complete review

We were very apprehensive about the interview after reading the horror stories of people who get denied but have a real relationship.
However, we felt well-prepared and I made the trip to China to be with her during the interview time and attend the American Citizen Hour the prior week.
My impression of the embassy is that they are swamped with applications and really do not have the time to dedicate to each case that cases probably deserve, but the officer I met during ACH was pleasant and answered my questions. I met another officer who notarized something for me, and he was businesslike and a little cool, but again, I think they are always overburdened with work.
The officer that my fiancee dealt with during her interview was businesslike, not warm, but not rude. Her interview lasted about 7 minutes and he spent most of the time reviewing the photographs and reading the letter I had notarized the week prior. The questions he asked were... read complete review

Very fast and good. My wife was one of the last to enter the Consolate that morning and the first to be interviewed and approved. VO only asked 3 easy questions.
Only problem was coffee shop on 4th floor of consolate charged high price for its coffee.
