Review Topic: K1 Visa

My fiancee had nothing but positive things to say about the interview experience. Everyone, including security, reception, and the interviewer was very nice and helpful. She stayed at a hotel 5 minutes from the embassy and got there early. The whole process was finished in about an hour.

We went over the I-129 and I-134 info several times beforehand and did some practice interviews together which she said helped a lot.

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

~2 hour wait after document submission followed by interview of less than 5 minutes. Two or three questions of 'how did you meet your spouse', 'what does he do', and done!
