*EXPERIENCE DURING COVID TIMES
I was informed about my interview (set by the embassy itself) via email a week before and had not done my medical report yet. It's a really complicated times as the clinic had canceled my previous appointment due to MCO in KL and Selangor area. I immediately contacted the clinic again to have my appointment done a day before my interview and try to get permission to go to KL (am from Ipoh) and thank god, it was a breeze. But I had to come on a later date after to collect my report and receive my vaccinations. Hence, my medical report is not done yet during my interview but was advised to keep going still.
I had my interview at 9AM and arrived around 8.40 as I stayed at DoubleTree Hilton a day before my interview. When I arrived, there are no lines outside and I was instructed swiftly into the building (leaving my phone and IC card at the post). I was also given a number and I was the third person to get interviewed. The waiting hall is almost empty, just me and two others waiting to be interviewed. I then were called to submit all documents at the first counter and also gave them a letter by the clinic informing that my medical is pending.
As my name is called, the interview lasted just about 10 minutes and the officer is quite nice. He then gave me a form 221g refusal because of my pending medical and was instructed to submit medical + passport via Aramex courier. My case status were marked as refused while I waited to submit my pending docs. I did received the visa a week after I submitted my documents but realized they spelt my name wrongly haha. So its more waiting time and honestly just annoying as I need to have them reissued. But they were very efficient with my emails regarding the mistakes and were helpful.
Overall I have a good impression of KL US embassy ever since my tourist visa interview and no problem other than the COVID delays and just the whole visa reissuance haha.

Hi guys,
I had my interview on 11/24/2020 at US Embassy Malaysia
Interview Completed but no visa issued yet.
IR1 Visa
The officer asked me few questions that might help you:
1) How did you guys meet? (Online dating website)
2) what is the name of the website?
2) where & when exactly you both met for the first time?
3) when both of you decide to get married?
4) when you get married?
5) what your husband do in the US?
6) you used to lived in the UK, what you doing there?
7) have you/ your husband married before?
8. how many kids and where they’re now?
9) where is your in laws?
10) when was the last time you guys see each other?
11) when do you plan to go to the US?
12) do you have kids?
13) where your husband born?
14) how do you communicate with your husband? How frequent?
He just asked me police certificates, marriage certificate and birth certificate. The officer didn’t ask any other supporting documents. I overdone it by bringing my wedding album together with me. But he didn’t asked for it.
Interview went well except for 1 doc original birth certificate I didn’t upload it on the NVC Website. But i brought it with me during an interview. So the officer issued me form 221g and asked me to courier my passport and original birth certificate to them after i upload it on nvc.
So i done it on the same day. And on 11/30/2020 received an email saying it was completed and now waiting for my passport to courier back.
Overall was a pleasant experience. From the security check till finished it took me around 1 hour and 45 minutes. Waiting for the interview and document check quite longer than expected.
Overall was great.

Appointment was set at 10am.
No line outside the embassy as routine consular services are unavailable due to COVID-19.
IC/Driving license surrendered in the registration guard house to collect electronic devices after interview.
Security check done twice before being led to the room.
There was only one counter pre-checking documents, arranged it according to the email sent by embassy to ease the process.
Interview was done in another counter, oath taken before interview started. Some questions that I remembered:
1) How did you meet?
2) How many times did your fiance visit you?
3) How many times did you visit your fiance?
4) Where does he live?
5) What does he works as?
6) What are your wedding plans?
7) When will you be entering the states?
Interview took less than 10 mins.

(Medical Exam in KL, Malaysia)
As it’s the only panel clinic in Malaysia and CMCO period, it’s difficult to get through to make an appointment. My best advice is to call them between 8am - 9am. I’d suggest you to get your embassy interview date first and the clinic will do their best to squeeze you in. This is also beneficial for you because the medical report is valid 6 months from the date of your check up (NOT when you receive the results/NOT when your Visa is approved).
Before you go, do prepare:
- Copy of the US Embassy Interview Confirmation
- 4 2x2 photos (US Visa sized photos)
- Passport
- Copy of your vaccination record (if you have)
- Have your US address and Malaysia address ready (to fill up form later)
- RM 900 (CASH ONLY)
My appointment was at 8am 4 November 2020. I arrived 30 minutes earlier and was lucky to get a parking spot outside the building. I was their first patient and they were quick in getting everything in order for me.
1. Handed over my passport, the photos, copy of my vaccination record and US Embassy Interview Confirmation for registration.
2. Nurse gave a few forms to acknowledge, complete and sign. Took less than 5 minutes to complete all of them.
3. Urine test completed, and was escorted to a small room to check your height, weight and eyesight.
4. Waited less than 10 minutes and was called into the doctor’s room. Was immediately greeted by Dr. Zurina. She was super friendly and made me feel comfortable. She went through to explain the validity of the medical exam report, what to expect after arriving in the US, what to do when I file for AOS and the vaccinations.
5. We went through a questionnaire which I had completed earlier about my health and past medical history.
6. Took a blood test.
7. She reviewed my vaccination card and told me the vaccinations I would need. I’ve planned to get all my shots/boosters updated before leaving to the US (It’s way cheaper to do it here, and I wouldn’t have to worry about it when I file for a Green Card).
8. Physical examination time. She checked my abdomen, my lungs (front and back), spine and reflex test on my joints.
9. Given 2 shots - DTAP and Flu Shot. I’ve opted to get a HEP B booster and MMR shot for my next visit.
10. Total amount paid RM 826. I was given a payment receipt, a letter to the embassy stating my results are pending, and a report to do the x-ray. Left at 9.35am.
Made a short drive to Daya X-Ray Centre (less than 10 minutes). This clinic is right beside DBKL, and there is an open-air parking space right beside the building so it was very convenient. If I remember correctly - RM 5 per hour, accepts Touch’n’Go or Visa Wave only.
1, Walked over to the clinic, registered with my passport and presented them the report/letter for X-Ray.
2. NO PAYMENT NEEDED as it is already included in the initial RM 826.
3. Called in, confirmed details (name & DOB) and led to the X-Ray room to change (just top half).
4. Done and left the clinic at 10.50am.
(12 November 2020 - Collection of Medical Report, More Vaccinations and Submission of Medical Documents)
Doctor went through the medical results with me. Explained the submission process and how to prepare my documents at the US immigration when I arrive. After that, I took my MMR shot and HEP B booster. I left with a SEALED envelope containing the original medical report and X-Ray, and a copy of the medical report to keep. It was a quick session and I paid additional RM 127 for both the vaccination shots.
Drove straight to Aramex PJ to drop off my passports (new and old one has B2 Visa), a copy of the document delivery confirmation page and the sealed envelope. Left there with an air waybill receipt.
(Malaysia K1 Visa Interview Experience)
My interview was on 9 November 2020 (Monday, 8am) during the CMCO period. Decided to leave early as it was the start of the week and I was afraid of any hold ups from roadblocks (None encountered from my end, do check with PDRM or call up your nearest police station to confirm if you need a travel letter). I arrived at the Embassy entrance at 7.40am and only saw 1 family waiting ahead of me.
We were called in to register at 8.05am. Handed over my IC for them to keep and a tag to wear. Went through security and surrendered my phone and was given a little token (to collect my phone after). Walked into the office and was greeted by a staff member. She gave me a checklist to prepare my documents accordingly (removed them out of my folder) and waited.
I was called to a booth and the officer checked through my arranged documents and did fingerprint scanning. She collected them and placed them inside a pink file.
At about 8.45am, I was called to a different booth. Here are the questions I was asked (not in order and as much as I can remember):
How did you and your fiancée meet?
What was your relationship like in between since you both first met? (we met online in 2008 and only got together in 2016)
When did you both first meet in person?
Has your fiancée been to Malaysia?
How many times have you both get together in person?
What do you and your fiancée usually do when she visits you in Malaysia?
Have you lived in any other countries for more than 6 months?
Where are your fiancée's parents from and where do they live now?
Where is your fiancée and what’s her living situation now?
How many times have you been to the US?
I see you brought some pictures. May I see them?
When do you plan to go to the US to get married?
Plans for the wedding?
What does your fiancee do and describe the company she works in?
Have you or your fiancée been married before?
The interview was pretty conversational. After that, he told me everything was good and in order, however he couldn’t issue me a Visa yet as I was still waiting for my medical results. He assured me that once they've receive my medical report and if everything is in place, they will process it and deliver my passport with the visa back to me.
Left the embassy at 9am. Overall pleasant experience. Everyone there was really friendly and efficient.
