Review Topic: K1 Visa

The whole process was smooth and easy. Took me about an hour.

Questions that I was asked:
How did we meet?
Have I ever married before?
have I met his child yet?
Why do we decide to get marry in the states instead of here?
Am I working and what kinda job?

Very easy and the office was so nice didn't ask me for any photos or proof of relationship.

Our appointment was at 0930, so we arrived at 0850. We were actually seen prior to our appointment time (0905), so its good to show up early. The admin worker went through all our required paperwork and had us fix some errors real quick. We sat back down and waited another 15-20 min and my wife was called up for her interview. He diligently looked through her paperwork and then looked through file on the computer. He asked her "When did you get married?" and "When do you intend to travel?" She answered both. He said "OK. You are approved we will send you your VISA in 2-3 days" Smiled and said have a good day. We went to the car and it was 1020.. We were like WOW!! We knew we had over prepared and it felt great.

Everyone at the consulate was very kind and respectful.

It was a great momment for us both!!

Naha consulate took very good care of my wife during the interview. On time appointment, and very polite. Individual that handled the interview also saw us for our marriage paperwork. Nice small town feel for such an extensive process. Interview was conducted in Japanese, and took only a few minutes.
I am pleased that amid all the political crap going on that this process and the people seemed to care a little. Good luck to all, on your journey, as ours has only begun.

Writing this review on behalf of my husband.
So he got there around 7:30-7:50ish and was number 12 in line out of 20ppl. They handed him the clear folder to put his documents in(new tax returns,updated I-864 and recent paystubs from my job),Letterpack,passport,passport photos, fingerprints,and then he had to wait an hour till he was called for his interview. The CO according to my husband never smiled, and didn't give my husband a choice if he wanted to converse in English or Japanese, so it was entirely in English.
He just asked basic questions:
How did we meet?
Where did my husband go to school?
What work am I doing right now?
And after that he said "congratulations you're approved!"
It also seems that maybe we didn't have to hand in the recent tax returns + I-864 cause even though they took the tax returns they said that co-sponsors already qualified looking at their history for the poverty guideline to support him so they didn't ... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

I am the applicant (UK citizen, CR-1), I live in Japan with my husband.
Our interview was for 8.30, but we arrived at the embassy at 7.30, we were second in the queue, but by 8 am there were at least 20 people behind us. We were done by 9.30, so I think getting there early is a good idea.
First the embassy staff will give you a clear file where you put any additional documents in order. For us this was just photos, passport, tax returns for the new tax year, letter pack 500 (you DO still need this!) and medical. They weren't interested in seeing any additional documents.
After that they returned my X-ray, birth certificate and marriage certificate, and then we waited again. After some time I was called up for fingerprints.
Then came the interview: it was very relaxed and the consular officer was very nice, he asked how we met, when we got married and if I'd met my husband's family. It was like a conversation though not like a formal interview. It was painle... read complete review
