Review Topic: K1 Visa

It was a long day...it was a great day. As the USC I felt this was a time when my government actually realized who they work for. I thought we were totally prepared; as it turns out we were a little deficient and the staff was helpful and very supportive. APPROVED.

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Straightforward interview process:

We arrived at the embassy right about 7AM.
Line up at line #3, metal detector, hand over your phone.
Go to one lady who makes sure you have all your paperwork, puts it in folder.
Wait a long time.
Go to one window for 5 minutes, verify info in your folder.
Wait a long time.
Go to another window - fingerprint.
Wait a long time.
Go to another window with consular officer, 10 min interview. They only spoke to the beneficiary, not the USC.
Wait a long time in Domesa line.
Leave the embassy about 12.30.
Take a nap because we were up so early.
Celebrate!

If you haven't figured it out yet, you'll be waiting a lot. Bring a deck of cards, books, magazines, model airplane kit, etc etc.

Still, the K1 interview process is easier than the student/tourist visas...those folks have to stand in line the entire time. K1s wind up waiting in... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Our interview for the K1 Visa was pretty much as described in the previous consulate reviews. I have our timeline below for reference. All in all it was pretty quick. Our interview was very simple. My fiancée was only asked the questions below. I was not asked to take the phone at all even though I was present and visible.

The one thing I will note is that the presence of the petitioner did not seem to be nearly as significant a fact on our day as has been reported for some other days. Of the first applicants to arrive, three (including my fiancée) were accompanied by the petitioner and four were not. Two of the accompanied applicants were approved and all of the unaccompanied applicants were approved. The unaccompanied applicants did not seem to receive any more thorough of questioning than the accompanied applicants. I still think it is a good idea for the petitioner to attend the interview if possible, but it does not seem to me that a petitioner should go ... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Janeth and I arrived at the embassy around 6:30 AM. There were a few lines formed outside, each in front of a numbered sign – since we were a K1 visa, we got into line number 3. When we got to the front, Janeth's documentation was checked (passport, and I believe they asked for the DS-156 as well but I don't recall 100%) and we were sent inside and through a metal detector, and then into the main waiting area. This area is very large and mostly uncovered, but there are several covered waiting areas with chairs. I recommend bringing an umbrella, but you'll be covered most of the time.

We were sent to a sign labeled with the number 40, when you enter it's on the left and all the way in the back. There, the promotora gave us a big folder labelled K which included instructions on how to organize the paperwork being asked of us. One of the supposed requirements is a letter declaring the applicant is single, basically an updated version of the intent to marry letter se... read complete review
