Sept 22
I came to JA for my husbands interview because I knew how important it was for me to be there since I was filing for him. It was a rainy day and his interview was at 7:30 - we reached around 6:20 and sat in the car. That didn't stop people from lining up outside. We went in line around 7:00 where we came to the security checkpoint. They were a bit loud and stern, but I knew they were simply doing their job. Although we had all our paperwork submitted we still brought along plenty of evidence and additional paperwork just to be safe. After the checkpoint we came to another sitting area - people were already sitting outside but they had us go into a separate line where we went inside - they asked for my hsuband interview letter and gave him a yellow slip for DHL - weher ehe had to write his name,address and number. We sat in Section A - Section B was bigger and very full. We had number A116 - the numbers were not called in order as they started with A104 window 5 -... read complete review

We stayed at The Prestige (also known as Sandhurst) which isn't too far from the embassy. From driving by the embassy the day before, I didn't want us to have to deal with finding parking the morning of the interview, so we left the car at the hotel where it was safe & took a taxi. It took 10 minutes to get to the embassy from the hotel, due to the traffic. We arrived at 8:55 for our 9:00 appointment.
Outside the Embassy:
At the embassy, Steven realized he'd forgot to take his phone out of his pocket, so he gave it to Ms Nikki to hold. She charges $200 to hold anything you're not supposed to bring in. She told us where the end of the line was, but from reading previous reviews, I knew that that wasn't the line for us. We walked to the front of the line and a yellow shirted woman told us to start a different line since we were filing for a K1 visa. Once we pulled out all of the papers, she came to us to check them. She stapled the passport pictures and interview ... read complete review

On my husband's first interview, it was all good. Security (the people in the yellow jackets)were very helpful, even though my husbands was late  . After leaving that area he went to the window were the lady doing the interview was very nice, my husband was missing some of the papers that were needed,(even though his wife sent them to him weeks ahead of time) he left them, thinking he didn't need them  so she polietly asked him when could he return with the documents? she rescheduled him and he was off. Now the second interview was not so great , as soon as my husband reached the window the older lady behind it asked him "when was the last time he smoked ghanja" he told here over two years ago, and she said "sorry your visa is denied, come back in 2012"  I given them a rating of a 4, beacuase the first time my husband came, they could have dismissed him then for being late, yet... read complete review

My husband went to the interview alone and said it was a breeze. They only asked him basic questions such as where your wife lives and when were you married. I had all extra copies of everything I could think of together for him in a folder and pictures of us, but they never asked for them. The only things they asked for was his passport and medical packet. I am beginning to think that if you have all the paperwork in order, then there are no problems. My husband said everything was straight forward. We are both so excited about him coming home next week that I keep forgetting to ask him more about the interview.

Going to the Embassy was very exciting and nerve wrecking for my husband and I. Please note if you are going for the K3 interview you MUST bring two copies of the DS156 (3 pages long TWO different bar codes) and you MUST have two copies of your 157. They wont let you in through security without it. Honestly we got there are 8:44am and it was such a smooth process after that. We received our ticket number. Proceeded to the cashier. Paid our $131 visa fee and waited our turn. Your number gets called twice and they do not go in order. They asked my husband and I very simple questions. How long weve been together. When did we meet. How may people were at our wedding and if we had any children together. That was that. The officer actually cut us off and said OK your visa has been approved! that I must admit was one of the best days of my life!!! anyways thanks to visa journey for everything. Kingston Embassy is not that bad. Just go prepared with all your paperwork and you will be fine ... read complete review
