Review Topic: K1 Visa

Arrived and hour late because of the strike, but they were kind enough to let me in. Had to wait 3 hours and was the last one to be interviewed.

Was called 3 times: first to deliver the confirmation of the DS-160 and pay the fee, second time to deliver the documents requested and finally the interview.

The interview took place right there at the counter. The questions were basic:

- how did we met
- was it love at first sight
- when did we realize we wanted to be 'together forever'
- have I ever visited the US
- how long was my longest stay in the US
- did I enjoyed the city I'm about to live in

... And that's it. 'All good, you'll receive your visa in 10 business days at home' javascript:emoticon('')

Final notes:

- print your confirmation email of the date of the interview; they'll request it, although I didn't had mine;
- if you don't have a credit card, bring cash with you: it was 252€ at the time, and it'll save you the trouble of running to the ATM, like I had to do, because debit cards might not work (specially electron);
- they speak in 3 languages (including in the interview): french, english and portuguese;
- if you're not in France and just came for the interview, you can buy the EU envelop requested at the La Post near Argentine subway stop and take the subway to La Concorde;
- the only thing you can take to the waiting room is food and the documents. Nevertheless, they do have water fountains and vending machines with food and water (nothing fancy, just snacks).

Good luck! javascript:emoticon('')
