My experience basically follows many here, so I won't go into details! It was straight forward.

One reminder - remember those key-pads some banks give you for internet banking are electronic too!! I totally forgot I had it, as I don't use it much. So ended up throwing it away (HSBC replaced it freely the next day).

Everything else was fine, there for about 2 hours. Window 1 and window 16 - the two windows of choice for K visas it seems. One rather stern, unfriendly lady at window 1, one very cheery American lady at window 16.

Passport with visa attached and the big white envelope arrived just 3 days later.

Review Topic: K1 Visa

my interview was at 8 am. i was scared but thankfully had a low number so knew I'd be out of my misery soon. my number was called, i went to the booth. my lawyer had left out the form DS 157k and the english lady in the booth told me i was missing docs from my application. i nearly died of a heart attack. i asked her what i should do about it to sort the problem out, she didn't answer. a couple of secs later a guy appeared with the forms and i had to fill them out to the best of my ability without having accurate facts of what exact years i attended all the schools i went to... etc etc etc. i thought my interview was going to be over then and there

but actually when i handed my forms to her, she told me i should fire my lawyer. i told her we had. she then laughed. which made me feel better! laughing is good! then i sat down again, heart beating like a galloping horse. after about 30 mins, as i was called up to the second part of the interview i actually... read complete review

Very short and down to earth interview. Nothing too surprising had a very friendly lady. Didn't ask for anything from me except the original Birth Certificate and Police Certificate. Sent copies of everything in before and they seemed to appreciate it.

Review Topic: K1 Visa

I arrived at the embassy at around 7:15am and there were already two short queues. One to the left for US citizens services and one to the right for Visas. I joined the visa queue.

Chatting to several people, I found that most were waiting to get non-immigrant visas, so I was hoping to get a low ticket number for my immigrant visa. At 7:30am a couple of US embassy staff members came out and started processing each person. One of them checked my appointment letter, asked if I was the person listed and asked if I had any electronic items on me. (If you had any electronic items you were sent off to 'dispose' of them. As one of the people just in front of me found to their dismay.) Having read all the great feedback on the VJ, I knew to expect this so was fully prepared.

Next, I was asked if I had anything in my pockets (coins, wallet, keys etc), belt or watch. I did, so I was given a plastic bag to hold these items to pass through security. I was then sent th... read complete review
