Review Topic: K1 Visa

Everything was fine with one exception, the whole experience being very similar to that of another member's fiancee. The visa officer liked my fiancee's organization of my financial documentation so that she didn't have to ask for each part, and the fact that not only had I visited China three times, but that she and her son visited Toronto and my mother flew in to meet them as well. The final question on CCP membership led to the visa officer's disappointed expression and the blue slip for more information and an exemption.

The whole experience was very professional; the last question confirms the same one in the pre-interview registration. If your fiance(e) is honest, there isn't a lot one can do about it. Under federal law it's still illegal to give a de facto immigrant visa (as K1 and K3 are treated by the consulates)to someone with membership in an organization that wants to overthrow the U.S. government. It doesn't matter if nations run by that Party have most M... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

I had a pleasant stay in Xia's apartment. He is a very friendly guy and offered to help me with organizing my documents. My VO was a young caucasian lady. She just asked me routine questions.
-How did you meet?
-What's your major?
-Could I see his tax return?
-Could I see your physical examination results?
-Could I see your pictures?
-Who's that?
-Does he only have 1 sister?
Then, she handed me a pink sheet of paper.

I had a feeling that my VO was probably a tough one. It was later confirmed by hearing other people talking about her. Few pink slips were given by her on that date. Most applicants interviewed by her received blue/white slips. She couldn't find the tax return forms and my PE results when these documents were right in her hands. Fortunately I had paper clipped every single documents and was able to guide her to find my documents.

My interview was finished around 10:30am on the 21st. I w... read complete review

Got a BLUE SLIP.... which is a 221(g) Lacking documents/Further Processing. This was surprising because we were well prepared. Additional forms they asked for were three year tax returns from me and three year "CERTIFIED" tax returns from my co-sponsor (I was told I only needed to submit our 2008 taxes which I did, also CERTIFIED COPIES TAKE 60 days to get from the IRS in the USA.)

We had written a letter before the interview stating that she only joined CCP for school and never participated in any other actions etc.... they kept the letter. But they requested additional information about CCP.

I had copied our Video Chat History from SKYPE 147 pages, 4 rows each page (1 hour or more every night.) We only missed about 19 days in 8 months and that was due to traveling. I also, lived in China from August 2008 until March 2009 and I had plane tickets, huge picture book, and receipts. But they still ask for more correspondence proof.

I think... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Well, to begin with, the Office was about 30 minutes late getting opened up. Dandan was seemingly calm and cool (more so than I). She said she began to be a little worried when she realized we had left a copy of her Passport out of the file... luckily they allowed her the time to go to the 4th floor and get a copy. She began to relax and chat a while until she and others noticed a lot of blue slips being passed out. She was really nervous when the one window that appeared to have handed out nothing but blue called her number. She said all went well, until he closed the file and asked her to tell him how many days a week I worked, and how many people were in the company I worked for. She had not really prepared for that question, but she recalled I had told her about a recent merger which put us to about 500 people... he questioned her again and she was a little shocked that her sounded like she was wrong. I think this was his personal effort to read her reactions about everythin... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

My finance attend citizen hour three days before my interview. He brought all financial supporting documents with him. The VO went through the documents and checked in their system, seems no problem for our case.

Later I went to interview. The whole process was around 5 hours (from 6:30am stand in the line to 11:30 come out). I subimitted all financial supporting documents before the interview, including 3 years tax forms, 3 years W2, house certificate, evaluation form, pay stub, electricity bill, stock form, etc.

The interview was conducted by window No.23 VO. Questions are raised as: Who applied you? Where he lives? What is his job? How you meeting each other? When that happened? (During these questions, I told VO lots of things, include how many times he comes and how long each time he stays etc. ) Then he asked about pictures. I handed in and explain all the way along while he is looking. Who is this, where we are, what he is doing, why we take a pict... read complete review
