Our appointment was at 7:45 AM on May 1, 2018. I went with my fiance because we both work and live together in Seoul where we scheduled our appointment. We arrived at 7:30AM and there was already a long line of people. Please take note that there are two lines. One for non-immigrant visas and the other for American citizens and immigrant visa applicants.The longer line you might encounter down the wall towards the fire station in the background is not the line you want to be in. (Because the K1 visa is a non-immigrant one with the intent to immigrate it gets treated as an immigrant visa by the embassy.) We lined up and we presented our passports along with the letter of appointment at a window outside the consular office, got checked off a list, and told to enter the embassy for a security check. The Seoul Embassy has a one cell phone - one set of keys per person rule. My fiance had a backpack with him and they allowed him to carry it inside after putting it through a scanning machine.... read complete review

The interview went very well. My husband was stading next to me as the interviewer reviewed my paperwork. Just making sure they had everything they needed. He asked us how we met, when we got married, where were we going to live in the US, and that was it! He told us there and then that we were approved, and that we should expect to receive my passport within 5 day via courier. javascript:emoticon(' ')

Location: Seoul Consulate, South Korea
Experience: The process was very nice. From start to finish it took us about 2 hours. The staff is friendly, courteous and helpful. We arrived around 35min early and had to wait for the doors to open at 7:30am. They are sticklers for opening up shop on time.
Arriving Early: Getting to the Embassy early is always a good thing. It helps you calm down and think a little. We arrived around 35 min early and as a result we were the first to be interviewed. For us being early paid off as the line grew quickly after around 7:10am with as many as 20 to 30 people waiting by 7:30am
Bathroom Access: In short, there is none until the Embassy opens at 7:30am. Local neighborhood amenities are quite limited around the Embassy as well. So, plan accordingly. My wife was so nervous about the interview that she went looking for one right after arriving only to find there was no bathroom access until it op... read complete review

Interview began at 8am, and involved submitting many forms, all confirmed as valid. At the interview, the questions were quite basic, how we met, etc. One question was about the reason for being denied entry on a visa waiver a year ago in Minneapolis. At that time, I had a valid visa waiver, a valid airline ticket home before the end date of the visa waiver, and had already been granted entry a few weeks before in Seattle. I told the agent that I had no idea for the denial. She apologized. She granted the green card visa. We are very happy. I expect to immigrate at the end of November 2017

Areum went to the appointment, which was scheduled for 0830, by herself because I was in the U.S. She arrived at 0745 and went to get her papers checked by the clerk. She was quickly informed that the form she was given at the police station was not correct. So she left quickly and retrieved the correct one. When she got back, she sat down with the many other people waiting. After a couple of hours, she was called for the interview. They asked the few very standard questions like where/when did you meet him, how did he propose, about her previous visits to the U.S. to see my family and me, and when/where we planned to marry. They also reviewed her "proof" of our relationship (photos and engagement ring) at this time. I suppose this was because I was not in attendance with her, but then they soon told her that she was approved and she would get her visa within five days! We are very excited and will soon book her flight to the U.S. The South Korean embassy was amazing. Areum ... read complete review
