I had my interview for my K1 visa on the second of November. Overall it was a very pleasant experience.
My interview was at one and I got there a bit early so I was told to come back at one. A line was forming outside the entrance so I went and stood in that. At around one they started letting people in. You have to go through security, similar to airport security, and you have to throw out any liquids you have and put any electronics in a locker, which you get back when you're leaving.
When you go in first you wait in a queue to give someone the documents you have with you and then in another queue to pay the visa fee. After that they tell you to sit down and wait until you're called for your interview. There were five people interviewing for K1 visas the day I was there and I was called fourth, so I was waiting for around an hour. Also they interview you at the little windows so everyone can hear what you're saying, it's not in a private room. The man who interviewed ... read complete review

I accompanied my fiance to the embassy (I am the petitioner), however they wouldn't let me in past security. We arrived at the embassy at around 1pm for a 1:30pm appt. He was through security by 1:15 pm, and out by 1:45. They asked him about how we met and our relationship developed. They only took the affidavit of support, employment letter and my tax return. They did not take my W2, nor did they ask for any additional proof of relationship.

Had interview today at the embassy in Dublin. Arrived a little early, plenty of on street parking but bring lots of change to pay the meter in advance for two to two and half hours. At the embassy itself security check was quick and efficient. You have to leave any phone or tablet/laptop in a small locker.
Once inside the staff are friendly and after checking it at one desk it was about 30 minutes before called to the next counter where they asked for birth cert and police cert from myself, Affidavit of support and tax documents from my fiancee. After handing over documents you move to next counter to pay, $265 or the equal in euro, its was €252 today.
After another wait of approx 30 mins I was called to the counter for the 'interview'. Finger prints taken and I was asked to tell the story of our relationship, how we met and what were our plans. They didn't look for any other proof or documents. After a brief chat the consular official said the words i w... read complete review

Much like the others! Everyone that works there is lovely, the visa area is actually very small. I was lucky and was first in line (1pm appointment, showed up at 12:50) and there were no other visa types there. No J-1ers! I paid, handed over my documents, and twenty minutes later I was called up to the window for an interview. It's very open plan and not private at all, but you don't really notice with the nerves!
The officer told me I talked so much (nerves!) that I answered all the questions anyway. He just asked me to tell him about our relationship, how we met, any plans for the future. I think he tried to trip me up with one question; "And your fiancee lives in [Town]?" I almost said yes, but it was the town she was born in, which I corrected him on and carried on babbling about where she did live. It was so casual that I only noticed afterwards that it was possibly a trick question!
Just listen to what they're saying to you and even if you're as ner... read complete review
