The process at the consulate was just as I had heard. They let me come in with my fiance after a little bit of begging. First we were sent up to a window to give them all the paperwork, there was 2 problems I forgot to bring 2 copies of the I-156 and instead of the I-134 I filled out the I-864 for the affidavit of support. They let both of them slide, thankfully!! Then there was a little bit of problem with the $350 payment since we had paid at the post office (like the instructions said) instead of there at the consulate but they worked it out. When we got to the actual interview we were relived to have a nice guy from New York who loved the story of how we met and wanted to hear all about it. He also made fun of one of our facebook conversations I printed out. In the end he told us we were approved and it might take a little extra time to get back the Visa because of the upcoming Jewish holidays. All and all a good experience and I am very happy its over with :-)

Hello,
I am waiting already for a month after I was told that I was approved in the interview for an immigration visa based on merriege and my visa will be issued but I haven't hear from the consulate yet. I have emailed them to find out if there is any additional doc they need but they didn't respond to me yet. Is anybody went through the same problem? I read that some cases take additional processing but the officer did not tell me anything about it, does anybody know how long this process takes? do they let the person know that his case is on this process or that's what I should expect when it is taking so long?
my interview was excetlly a month ago...

My fiance had his K1 interview appointment on 8/3/11 at 7:45 am at the Jerusalem consulate. He went alone. He arrived early for his interview. After going through security he waited for a bit to be called to window one. He noticed that people were called to windows by languages (Russians were called to a Russian officer, Israelis to an Israeli, Americans to Americans & Arabic speaking petitioners to an Arab). So my fiance was called to a Russian officer who immediately began speaking to him in Russian with the comment "whats with all the papers?" (he had a binder of relationship evidence, about 200pgs worth of financial support papers and his medical). The officer then took all his documents, one by one- DS 156, 156k, 157, military records (discharge papers), sealed envelope from medical and then I-134 (since I am a student I had my parents co-sponsor us and had him bring all my school papers- they didn't want anything but the affidavit from my sponsors signed in front of a notary and ... read complete review

I have to edit my review of the consulate that appears below. I gave them a generous 4 stars after my interview (even though they screwed up some before the interview) but I was in a good mood when I wrote the review. But given what happened after my interview, they're going down to a 1. Please note, you just CANNOT believe ANYTHING they say, because they will come right out the next day with "oops, that was wrong." I cannot conceive of how they keep their jobs.
We were told at our interview that we were approved and we would have the visa within a week to 10 days. After 10 days we called and we were told it would be a few more days. After a few more days we were told it was printing and it would be "maybe one more day, maybe 3." We asked our congressman to send an inquiry (as my fiance was trying to avoid re-booking his flight) and they sent a rude email to the congressman's office that really took that case worker aback, and we were told to sto... read complete review

May 2nd went to his interview appointment. He arrived at 7:15 and his appt. was at 7:45am. They let him in at 8:15, first a lady took all the missing paperwork, asked a few questions and told him to wait for his interview with the Counsel. He waited for about 40 mins until they were ready to interview him. The Counsel was very nice and pleasant, he asked a few simple questions like have you ever been to the US? Why do you want to go to the US?, where does your wife live?, whats her mother and fathers names?, Have you ever been to the West Bank?, When was the last time you saw your wife?, What do you plan to do for a living when in the US? He then took his passport said congrats and said that his passport will be returned to him with 10-14 days. Overall it was a simple and quick process. Good luck to all!!
