Review Topic: K1 Visa

So I got to the embassy at 7.30am where it promptly started raining! Good thing the embassy had umbrellas to give out or else I would have been soaked!
Went through security then got my number off reception, I-1904, it took around 30min for my number to be called the 1st time where i just handed over all my documents, got my fingerprints taken and got my x-ray back. That took about 5min and then I was told to sit back down to wait for the interview.

After another 20min my number was called again for the interview. He asked me what my fiancée name was, where did she live, what you she did for a job, how we meet and when it was and then he looked through the evidence she sent in and asked about a tour we went on in Australia, he basically wanted to know what that was, I told him it was a tour to Uluru/Ayers Rock.

After that he told me the application had been approved and it would take up to 2 weeks to receive it! Happy Days!

Thats all... read complete review

So here goes...

I arrived at about 7.45 for my 8am appointment, freaking out a little that I was late, after reading that no matter what time your interview, you should show up super early. There was two queues (that's a line, for you Americans), one big, one small. I, of course, picked the longer one cause I'm British and we love to queue but was promptly told I had to join the smaller one first.

After handing over my passport, appointment letter and DS 160 and getting into the longer queue, I just had the security bit to go through. The guys in there were super lovely and were asking me about my E-Cig (I've recently quit smoking) and wondering if they were any good to which I replied "yes"!

Once round the corner and up the stairs I was met by a friendly receptionist who checked my paper again and stuck some stickers on my appointment letter and sent me into the waiting room. I was I915 and at that point the I numbers were at about 903 so ... read complete review

I arrived at the U.S Embassy at around 7.45, there was already two lines but not a whole lot of people and the lines moved pretty quick. One line on the left is where I went first to get checked off the list and then I was told to join the second line, where I waited to go through the security hut.
After the security hut I walked around the side and corner of the building and up the stairs where there is immediately a reception desk, handed over my interview letter and passport and the lady gave me a ticket number (I910) and told me to go up the stairs to the left and take a seat.
By the time I sat down it must have been about 8.15, lots of numbers were constantly getting shown on the screen, primarily N numbers which I think must have been all the non-immigrant type visas (by the time I left the embassy the N numbers were going past 300, lots of people waiting).
The I9 numbers were getting called up very slowly, I was called up about 8.45 to a window with a nice ... read complete review

Arrived at the embassy at 7:30am for my 8:00am appointment, there was already a line forming for those with appointments after 8:00am. Security was quick and easy although they were the least friendly people in the whole building.

You can now bring phones and smaller electronic devices into the embassy although I did not do much except wait for my number to be called. The first window was a simple document check where I handed over my passport and photos and a very polite lady checked I should not have any other records.

After sitting down for about 15 minutes I was called to another window for my interview. The guy was locked out of his computer and then had to see what to do as I already had more than one passport. After a minute things were up and running and he asked 2 questions about my wife's work and I was told I was approved.

I was out of the building and on my way home just after 9:00am.

Review Topic: K1 Visa

So I had my K-1 Visa interview today.

Everything went great. I got to the Embassy at around 7:45 and joined the line that was starting to build up. A lady came and asked me my appointment time and as I was a little early I was moved into a separate line.

When I got to the front of the line I was asked to show:

My Passport

Appointment Letter

DS-160


After that I went through the security barriers and spoke to the receptionist inside the Embassy who gave me a ticket number and headed into the 'waiting area' which was basically just a huge hall with a really big tv in the front of it spewing out ticket numbers faster than Dwayne Chambers on red bull.

Once my ticket was called I went to the relevant window and was asked for the following documents:

Birth Certificate
Passport
DS-160
Appointment letter
I-134
Police Certificate
