Rating:  | Review Topic: K1 Visa
My interview was on August 9, 2013 (a Friday) at 10:00am. I showed up early, but was told to return 15 mins prior to my interview time.
I had to provide my passport, letter, and sealed medical packet (I just had to show the security guards). I went through the 1st security check and was sent inside to the second security check (the first is just basic security questions and the second is putting your belongings in a bin- similar to the airport, and going through the scan).
Then you are taken to the elevator to go to the 20th floor (if you need to go to the washroom, I suggest doing so prior to arriving at the consulate or prior to going to the 20th floor as there are no washrooms on the 20th floor). After getting off the elevator turn left and proceed to window B. The person will make sure you have all items in the correct order and give you your number.
Then the wait begins... I didn't actually wait that long, about 30 mins. My number was called and the co didn't ask me any questions other than the oath on ds-156k. I was told congratulations, and welcome to the United States. I then sat down and had to wait for my name to be called and the original person (from window B) told me my next steps (receiving my visa, poe, aos, actually super helpful- I already knew most of the info because of vj; but still cool).
The entire process took about 1 hour 15 mins (waiting in line for both security checks- which took the longest... Window B, waiting for the interview, and again at window B) out by 11:15 and celebrated with my fiancé with gelato (I got salted caramel and he got mint chocolate chip)
