Review Topic: K1 Visa

First of all, I want to thank Visa Journey for providing a place to have questions answered…we have used it the entire time we have been going through the visa process. Timelines and forums have provided wonderful answers and samples of what is to come in the process.
My fiancé arrived a little early for his 9 a.m. appointment (8 a.m) and was admitted into the embassy after passing easily through security. Remember not to take electronics to the embassy – my fiancé left his cell phone at Gould’s pharmacy (recommended by many Visa Journey members)You WILL NOT be admitted if you take so much as an MP3. After being admitted, my fiancé was given a number and was called after about Fifty minutes. He gave the person behind the window our affidavit of support and his original birth certificate and very little else because we had mailed everything to the embassy for the previous packet. He had just sat down when he was called for the second time. He thought he had forgo... read complete review

OK....( just to mention, I have been to the embassy numerous occasions, so I had some idea of what to expect )

My appointment time was at 9.30am, but I got a TAXI and arrived their around 8.45am...so I thought Hey, why not be early......maybe I'll be seen early and get in and out...........HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...WRONG

So I entered the embassy and got my ticket, which began with a the letter I, followed by 3 digits.Pretty much 85% of the people in their had numbers which began with the letter N..... so I thought this could take a while.
I wasn't seen until 10.50am.....which at that point I was feeling super tired from having been up since 5am.

So I went to the first window...the guy was pretty cool, he joked with me about my numerous J-1 visas in my passport. I handed over my birth certificate, police check, 2 passport photos, 1 copy of the original I-134, with a letter from my Fiance's work, and had my fin... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

I was well prepared having spent months, as most K1 applicants do, going over every possible aspect of my application with relentless trepidation. I couldn't help but feel like none of this process would ever truly come to fruition- but time passes and things happen.

Anyway- I got to the embassy at twenty past seven, my interview was at 8am. I queued up with about twenty other people, things fired up at about quarter to eight and from that point on the queue just remained a steady length with people continually drifting up and security letting a certain number of people in. In my bag I had my folder, my house keys(with no key fob)a book, and a pen. I highly recommend bringing a pen.

Getting into the embassy was pleasant and in no way problematic, the security men might've been gruff but it didn't rile me, even when he barked 'against the wall until I say so! I know you can all hear me!' I was just pleased to have gotten to this point with no travel delays... read complete review

My interview was at 9.30am and I think I arrived to queue up at about 8:15. The queue moved quickly and after having my passport and appointment letter checked I was sent through security. They were sending people through in groups of four, but it all moved pretty quickly and I think I was in the embassy just after 9am. You show your app letter and passport to a person at the front desk who they gives you your number, I was I92..something so although I thought I was early, it turns out there were a few people even earlier!

Then the wait began...I had been to the embassy a couple times before so was aware of how it all works. It's a case of check the screens and wait for your number to be called. For the most part numbers are called in order, however the confusing thing is that there are 2 parts to the process (handing over the paperwork and the actual 'interview') which makes it seem like the nunbers are being called randomly. Anyway after about 2 and a half hours I was ... read complete review
