Arrived at 8.30 am to the US embassy, to be greeted by a massive queue. Was in the line half an hour before staff came along asking if anyone had an immigrant visa.
K1 visa - allowed me access to front of the line and get through the security checks. You are allowed phones an tablets, just not laptops.
Arrival into the embassy was another long wait, it was 1.5 hours before I was called up.
Then another 1.5 hours before being called up again for my interview. The interview taking 5 minutes in total and then being told I had been approved.
All in all a very long wait. Try and find a seat ! And keep your eye on the board for your number, numbers which dont come through in any particular order. There is food and drinks that are available to be purchased and also a photo booth machine for VISA photos. (Only one is actually needed)
The staff were friendly and its just the waiting that is more nerve wracking than anything !
