Dear VJ friends,
I hope this review helps you. Well I was very blessed because I stayed with friends from Naples, so they knew where everything was and I didn't really need to worry about it. But anyway I think that if you ask people they are very nica and willing to help.
DAY 1.
I woke up early that day, I know it's so much stress so it was hard to sleep but anyway I was in front of the Istituto Varelli at 7. It was pretty cold so I was so happy ti find out that they let you in anyway. I gave my passport to one of the ladies at the reception and sat down at the yellow chairs.
After a while people kept coming and then at about 8.15 they started calling names for the blood withdrawal. It was very strange because I stil haven't figured out the order that they called us, but it sure wasn't in arriving order. In fact they were not that organised. Anyway afterwards I went back to the yellow chairs and waited for a nice quite old ... read complete review

Here is my fiance, Fabrizio, described to me about his experience in Naples
First of all, Fabrizio recommends to use the taxis to get around Naples, but you might want to negotiate on the prices. They are pretty cheap and they will get you anywhere you want to go. He also recommends to watch out for the cars when you are walking because they don't pay much attention to red lights...
Fabrizio stayed at Napul'è bed and breakfast at 92 Riviera di Chiaia and it worked out well and it is close to the consulate and reasonable priced. The rooms are restored and have air conditioning, bathroom, tv, and internet (which was great because we were able to skype). He said it is a really old building without a sign, but just look for the 92 on the outside.
Day 1
My fiance was the first to show up at the medical and you wait on the yellow chairs. Other people started showing up after a little while (he said there were about 10 other people) and... read complete review

This is my K-1 visa experience in Naples between sunday 11th and tuesday 1th3:
Me and my Dad(let someone accompany you if you can) at the B&B Napulè (Riviera di Chiaia 92),just 200 meters from the consulate in Piazza della Repubblica therefore in a PERFECT position for anyone who has to go through this 3 days journey in Naples. The owners are very nice and professional and will do the outmost to help you for any problem you might have; they also know a lot about the visa process since the majority of their hosts are Visa Applicant at the US General consulate. If you're one of those concerned about Naples and robbery in hotels..you can trust these people with your life,It's a family run B&B..they live there too.
ok let's talk about the real stuff now:
Day 1: MEDICAL VISIT AT ISTITUTO VARELLI: Valeria,one of the owners, reserved a taxi for us the day before and at 6:25 I was on my way there where I got at 6:35,25 minutes before the Varelli op... read complete review

Had my interview just yesterday and thought to share my experience with you all hoping it can help somehow.
Day 1: Medicals
It was said on Packet 3 to be at the Istituto Varelli at 8.15 in the morning, I took a taxi at 6.30 and I was there just before 7o'clock and I was the first person in line.
Taxi are usually not that expensive, you can call RadioTaxi and they would charge you around 1 euro per minute, so if it's early in the morning and there's not so many people around, you should be ok with 10, 15 euro.
Just after a couple of minutes we were already four people and the institute opened at 7.00.
They told us to give them our passport and to take a sit on the famous yellow chairs (lol) so we did, waiting for the other people to arrive and for 8.30.
Then they started to call for the blood test....starting from the very last person arrived... O_o I thought something was wrong and they seemed to keep going backwards from the last one s... read complete review

Super smooth process!!
The key is to prepare prepare prepare!!!
All of the other reviews pretty much cover the detailed process of the medical/consulate appointment. Just a few tips from our personal experience:
Arrive early for all appointments!! We arrived at 8:15am for the medical, at 1:50pm the same day for fingerprints and at 7:15am the next day for the consulate and there were still around 10 people in front of us for each appt. The most important appointment to show up early for is the interview/consulate appt on the second day. We were there at 7:15am, but had to stay until around 11:30am. People who had shown up just 10 minutes earlier than us were done by around 10am.
Make sure you read and re-read the documents that you need to bring to the appointment!! The most common reason couples did not get approved that day was because they were missing the "Carichi Pendenti" document. You need this AND the "Casellario Giud... read complete review
