Review Topic: K3 Visa

I went to interview on March 17th, 2009. All documents are complete but they didn't give me the visa because my husband is not with me at the moment of the interview... Consul said "in a few days I will comunicate with your husband" but we have 4 weeks and nothing... I NEED MY HUSBAND, HE NEEDS ME, I'M GOING CRAZY...

Review Topic: K3 Visa

We had our interview and we were approved. My wife will pick up her daughters and her passports tomorrow with their VISA'S.

We arrived at 11:50am for our 12pm to 1:30pm interview.

They call us up at 12:05pm. They asked for all our papers, one by one. The lady actually forgot to ask for my wife's birth certificate and her police report, she had to call us back up to request those items. The only financial support docs they wanted from me was 2007 tax return and bank statements, and she really didn't have to have those she said but she would take them. She would have wanted W-2's but I am selft employed.

They told us to have a seat after getting all our docs they needed. There was about 10 people there for interview items. Only 4 for actual interviews the remainders were there picking up packet 3's.

We were the first one's called up for the docs but second to last to get interviewed. The first lady who was interviewed wa... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Our interview was on Wednesday, June 25th at the US Embassy in San Jose, Costa Rica. Our interview was scheduled for noon and we arrived around 11:30. We waited in a short line out front of the embassy and when we reached the door, we told the guard we had an appointment at noon for our Fiance Visa interview. He waived us through and we went through the security scan and entered the embassy courtyard. We were instructed to take a number from the little machine, so we selected "Immigrant Visa" and were given #609. We went to the lobby waiting area and sat with about 25 other people who had already arrived. Everyone in our area had #600 numbers. There was another part of the waiting area that was handling Tourist Visas. Those people took up a HUGE part of the courtyard and the waiting area. Our little section was much smaller. At 12:00 on the dot, they opened one window and started calling 600-numbers. There lady who was calling people up was very nice. She collected document... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

The interview was short,and to the point. The questions were about how we met, where I work, where I live. I was not at the interview and they asked why. (I couldn't make it for the interview). The interviewer was friendly and Marcela said he wanted to see our photos and some of the docs such as Western Union receipts and boarding passes from my previous trips. The interview had previously been scheduled for 5/30, but the date was changed, twice, to 5/21.

Review Topic: K1 Visa

So this review is being posted second hand. Jose, my fiance, went to the interview at the embassy by himself. I would have liked to have gone but I really have no vacation time to spare. Also, financially speaking, it seemed to make more sense to put the money I would be spending to go down to CR toward Jose's ticket to the US.

So, Jose's appointment was at 12:00pm. He arrived at 11:30 and waited outside the embassy in the hot sun for half an hour. He was allowed in at 12:00 and overall he said that everything went extremely well. He was super nervous, having been denied twice from tourist visas, but he said that everyone was friendly and the process wasn't so bad.

Jose's experience is very similar to that of kidbrooklyn's fiance. In fact, I am wondering whether the same employee saw the two interview candidates. Jose waited for a while and then was called up to see a Costa Rican who took all his forms and papers. She asked how Jose and I had met... read complete review
