Incredibly no-nonsense atmosphere, anyone that was obviously confused or looking around were immediately directed to where they should be.
They allow you to bring your AirPods in and it's kept with your phone at the gate but no other electronics.
When lining up outside, they don't care what time your interview is set for, they kind of let in whoever is in line first.
Go at least 30 minutes before your interview time to be processed faster.
K1 visa interviews are conducted at the immigration visa line and there is no order in which people are called up to interview, it was pretty random.
As of April 28, 2026 (when I had my interview), all K1 visas are given the blue letter 221g and are told to wait for further administrative processing.
The officer did not elaborate on how soon we will hear back on a decision for the petition.
