Fiancee had an appoint scheduled for 9am. She got there 15 minutes early and said there was an incredibly long line. She ended up waiting 3 hours to get in for her interview. Apparently there were a lot of people that weren't well prepared. Our documents were well organized with a cover letter and tabs to find specific items easily. The interview itself only took about 3 minutes. She was asked a few questions in English, nothing we didn't expect: how did you meet, what does he do, what are your plans in the US, etc. She was never asked if she wanted to do the interview in Korean or English so just be prepared to do it in English if you have to. Aside from the very long wait time she said the interview was very quick and friendly. They told her she was approved at the end of the interview and would receive her passport with the visa within 5 days.

We arrived about 1 hour early for the appointment. After entering the Embassy a quick check of our documents was done Interview letter, DS 260 receipt etc.., the staff then placed one photo face down on the passports with a paperclip. We were also asked to fill out the courier slip for Passport/Packet delivery. We were then sent to another floor to wait for the names to be called. When the names were called the VISA preparer asked for our documents. She only did the verification of originals, she did not want the copies of previous documents which included the AOS. She did not look at the additional Proof of relationship that was included. We were then instructed to sit down and wait for the biometrics and interview. There were only 2 Interviewers for all applicants (business employee, students, fiancée, spouses, children) The wait was about 1 hour and 45 minutes for the interview to take place. Interview took about 10 minutes and only consisted of about 4-5 questions. At the begin... read complete review

So patient and helpful. Everyone in the office had a smile and listened to anything we said patiently. I can see how easily one can get frustrated with having to deal with people not having the proper paperwork, explanations, and questions but I noticed everyone at the embassy was calm and helpful. It really made me feel more comfortable because of course it is a big day for us and we are nervous. It seems that the people from beginning to end understand and are willing to help.

Arrived 1- hour early for the appointment. Good thing we did because of the expected/ anticipated wait times. Staff had an initial VISA preparer, followed by the VISA preparer asking some standard question and any other discrepancies towards your specific VISA packet. There were only 2 Interviewers for 30 Applications (business employee, students, fiancee, spouses, children) so we had to wait for a bit. Overall wait from entering the embassy to the end of our VISA interview was 3 1/2 hours. The Interviewer was fair and unbiased to what my spouse had to say. Overall good outcome. I look forward to our future endeavors for her Citizenship down the road.

K1 Interview
Arrived at 710am for 8am appointment. First in line. Line started getting long at 715am. They opened up the door at 730am. We proceeded upstairs to check in. After that we had to go up one more floor to wait for the real processing of our papers. There we learned that being first in the building doesn't determine your place in the queue for processing as other people were called first. On the information display it says though: "Your interview will be conducted within 2hours of your appointment time".
First our paperwork was reviewed by a korean clerk. When everything checked out she told us to have a seat and wait for the consul to call us.
After my fiancee was sworn in by the consul he asked her a few simple questions: when/where did you meet your fiancee? How did he propose? When will you get married? (We answered that that depends on his decision with a smile on our face). He then concluded with: "your visa is approved. cong... read complete review
