I came alone, arrived at 6:30, was done at 9:30, very fast, organized and clear. they even didn't look at the "proves" if you have a solid case they don't care and if it's week, not even one million photos are going to change their minds.

Arrived about 6am, the lines split up at around 630 and they let us inside around 645. Initially everyone stood in a line until around 7am when a women came and handed us the folder which listed everything we needed (as in packet 4 instructions). We were then sent off to put all in the folder and then give it back to her for review. We then waited about an hour when my fiance was called to the first window. I was asked to leave. Here she just reviewed all the paperwork and asked a few questions like how/when we met, about my ex wife, my occupation, my kids, about her son and his father (does he give permission). Then we were told to wait again. Waited about 30 mins and she was called to the window for biometrics (takes 2 mins). Waited another hour and was called to the final interview. The CO seemed very nice. Talked to us separately. Asked many of the same questions, asked plans for kids, how we keep in touch etc. Finally approved. Paid domesa (we will pick up at their of... read complete review

Our appointment was for June 16th at 7am. We arrived at 6 and were maybe number 8 in line (it really doesn´t matter if you're first in line or not, that doesn't mean you get interviewed first. I have no idea what kind of order they usejavascript:emoticon(' ')). They started calling everyone's name in line 3 for the K visas but they didn't call our name so we almost started freaking out but they just looked at our appointment letter and the DS-156 and said it was fine. So if that happens to you, don't worry! We were let in the embassy at 6:30 and went throught the security line.
We were immediately sent to line 40 and given a folder to organize our documents. Make sure to write the applicant's FULL name on the back of the passport photos, save your self a little time. It's also smart to bring your own pen or pencil to fill out the Domesa form and any other things they need you to sign or fill out. After we organized the documents, we turned them back i... read complete review

Over all it was a great experience, We arrived at about 6:15, got in line 3 and waited about 30 minutes before they started letting us in for security checks, once inside you are brought up to podium and given a folder to arrange all your documents and return it to the same podium and then wait to be called.
The first call was to window 31 to go through the paper work and my Fiance was asked some questions etc and asked for signatures and other documents we also needed the DS156K ( which we had filled out but some how forgot it ) Thankfully the provided us with a blank one and we filled it out.
Then you wait again to be called for finger prints, if you wear rings you will need to remove them the electronic finger print reader worked better after they were removed.
Then wait to be called for your interview, I was present through all the process and did not have to leave any window we went to. The questions they asked were simple and normal q... read complete review

We arrived at the embassy at 6:30am and there was no one waiting on line 3. We went straight inside and discovered that a lot of people were already inside. There were 2 sections- (1) for Tourist visa and the other for Resident visas such as the K1. The waiting area was outside, but they did have a clear overhead canopy above the resident section and a covered tent like enclosure for the tourist visa applicants. Thank god they had that because the rain decided to come on down. They sold drinks and snacks under the canopy also. It was quite a lengthy process as we had to go up to different windows at least two times before the actual interview occurred. The actual interview took maybe 5 minutes but we did not leave until about 3:45 pm, but thank god we were able to leave with a gigantic smile. Bring an umbrella just in case and also a warm jacket as it may be cold, rainy day. Overall though for us while it was tiring it wasn't a bad experience.
