We (my fiance was here for the interview) arrived at the embassy at 9am to submit documents. There were a lot of people waiting and only one counter was serving immigrant visas. (Technically, the K1 is a non-immigrant visa but the embassy places them in the same category as immigrant ones just for speedier processing and to ease the burden of officers servicing non-immigrant visas). The officer who attended to us was friendly and helpful. He was surprised that we knew to show up at 9am because when he looked at our appointment letter, he realized that that part was missing. We explained that through corresponding with the embassy staff, we were notified of this. He was very apologetic and thanked us for being understanding. The document submission was quick because we had our stuff organized. We got to the counter at 9:20am (paid then too, before the actual interview) and was done by 9:30am. We were told to come back at 1:30pm for our interview.
We got back to the embass... read complete review

I accompanied Nadiana to her Dec 3, 2009 interview for a US K1 (90 day) visa, aka "sweetheart visa" at the US consulate in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We arrived at 9:15 for a 9:30 appt. After a brief time standing in line outside the consulate, we were ushered into a room in the main building (with the usual airport style security checks) After a brief wait, they took Nadiana's documents and told us to come back at 1:30. We came back at 1:15, repeating the morning's procedure. We ended up talking to a pleasant man around 40 years old who asked us a few perfunctory questions - how did we meet, have we been married, what did I do for a living, and that was it. He had spent time in San Francisco and we chatted a bit about that. He knew where I lived and told Nadiana she was moving to a good location. He seemed to like that we had a picture of us with Nadiana's father sitting together smiling. I was told family support is important and perhaps it was. Pretty smooth sailing - no problems. <... read complete review

Interview:
I arrived at 9am to hand in the documents to the pre-screener (I-134, birth certificate, passport, police certificate, medical results, proof of relationship). A few small questions were asked regarding the relationship, not a big deal really. It went really well. Casual, with no hostility.
One thing to note is the counter could not fit my standard photo album so I had to take out all pictures one by one at the embassy for the pre-screener.
Make sure to get a visa number for immigrants and not non-immigrants as the K1 is processed as an immigrant visa here. So it will be a B number, not an A number. The security guard gets confused between the two. I had to tell him I wanted a B number.
I paid the USD131 fee which was RM498, did not get a receipt immediately and was told to come back at 1:30 pm.
I arrived at 1pm and there were about 5 other people there for immigrant visas. Spent one hour and 15 minut... read complete review

I arrived at the embassy at about 10 minutes to 9am. I was supposed to submit the documents at 9am and the interview's at 1.30pm. Anyways, after getting the pass (showed them interview letter, etc), I lined up and waited for the guards to let me in. I went in at about 9.10am. I was a total nervous wreck! I took the number but it turned out to be a wrong one, coz I took the non-immigrant visa type and mine was an immigrant visa. So I took another number... waited... my number was B402  Waited and finally they called my number. I gave them all the documents, the lady looked thru them, asked me a couple of questions, took the photos as relationship evidence (I didnt have to submit any other receipts or emails or chat logs), signed a few documents and asked me to sit down. I was called again and I had to pay the USD131 fees, I paid with my credit card. After that, I was free to go and will have to come back at 1.30pm for the interview.
I went to KLCC (Petr... read complete review

My interview was on March 26, 2009. The interview went by so smoothly! All the pressure and tension I went through the application process was pretty much for nothing.
My appointment was for 1:30pm and I had to come in at 9am to submit my documents. I came in a little after 9 and there were two people in front of me for immigrant visas, though the embassy was crowded by people applying for tourist visas. I had to submit my documents, check if they were accurate and then wait. Lots of waiting involved. It took me about an hour and a half and then they told me to come back at 1:30 for the actual interview. The actual checking was very efficient though. And you have to pay a fee of USD 131 for the application process.
I left for lunch and came back around 12:45, the embassy was almost empty by then, save for the people with appointments probably. More waiting. Interview went by without a hitch. Nice interviewer, asked a few questions about my fiance, explai... read complete review
