Review Topic: K1 Visa

My fiancee's interview was Friday, Apr 4th. They say arrive between 12-1:30pm. I flew down April 3rd to be there with her. I didn't need to but I know she gets nervous so I wanted be there for her. She was a nervous wreck, even though I tried to convince her it'll be a piece of cake.

We got there at 12:50. We walked in past security and went directly to the ticketing machine and got a "G" ticket for immigrant visa. Our number was 703. So we went inside and they were calling 701. Nice! So we were called up within about 5 minutes. This is to the pre-screener who takes all your forms and documents (not evidence of relationship-you keep it till the interview). She had a list of all that was required and was checking it off as we were handing her our forms/docs. She was surprised that we had it ALL. She also asked my fiancee to fill out some form with my first and last name. Then she asked us how we met. She was really nice and smiled a lot which relaxed my girl... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

So, I arrive at the embassy at 12:01pm for my 12:00pm appointment...lost in San Jose for an hour, ending up in the worst imaginable part of town was not the best start to the day! Anyway...

I take a number (an "immigrant" category one, as Costa Rica seems stuck on the idea that a K1 is an immigrant visa...) and have a seat. It's packed with tourist visa seekers - must be 200+ of them! At least the security/crowd control is very organised! I have number 612 and they are processing 602...I settle in for a bit of a wait. But, there's entertainment! All those jokers trying to get visas with no paperwork, overstays on tourist visas, an 18 year old girl who admits to only having known her USC petitioner for a week before they filed! That was the best one - she knew nothing about him, where he worked, family, not even the town where he lives! The consul could barely stop himself from laughing out loud :lol: Anyway, back to me!

My number fin... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

My husband said the interview went very well. Minimal questions and a nice interviewer. Among the questions, he had to swear to be telling the truth and swear that he doesn't intend to do anything bad in the US. Then they said to come back the next day to pick up his passport. And that was that!!

Review Topic: K1 Visa

As we entered the Embassy we went to a little machine that spits out a ticket with a number. When our number call called we went to the window. The lady behind the window was "all buisness and not very friendly. She did not even crack a smile. She then asked for all the forms, whick we had all ready and in order. We were then told to go have a seat and wait for the consular to call us up. After waiting about 40 min Jario was called up and I went up to the window with him. The consular was much more friendly and made a few jokes with us.

He scanned Jairo's fingerprints and had him take a oath that all questions asked were true and correct. He then had me go sit in the back of the room while he asked Jairo questions. I was then called up and Jario sat in the back of the room. He was asking us both simular quetions to see if our stories matched up. He was friendly but at the same time you could tell he was trying to see if we really was a "couple" It was a little nerve wra... read complete review
