Rating:  | Review Topic: K1 Visa
The first person that Lynne spoke to at the American Consulate was not helpful. She was intimidating, condescending which made the first part of the interview very frustrating for her.  She had to leave the consulate to get $131.00 in cash,  That was my fault, I had a money order for that amount but that was not acceptable. Once that was done, she went back sat and waited around for another hour, then she was called into the room, this time she had the Consulate General himself who made her more at ease, he ask her about her experience so far, to which she replied" terrible" she explained her ordeal with the first person, he then made her feel comfortable and the rest of the interview went well. Thru all this I waited for her at a little coffee shop at the corner from the consulate. This is the way she related the story to me. Once I saw her walking towards the coffee shop, she had a glow about her telling me that the ordeal was over and done. She was told that she would receive her visa and passport the following week. Her interview was on Jan.21,2009 got back to Windsor Ontario on Thursday evening. Friday( Jan 23,2009) afternoon she had received the pre-paid envelope with everything. Her passport, inside the passport was the visa, she also received a brown envelope in which you were told not to open. On the back it was double taped and there a signature. Also on the front a piece of paper with instruction DO NOT OPEN!!!!!. This must open only by the Customs Officer at the time you enter the US. If your curious in what is in the envelope, it is simply all the paper that you had file for the K1 visa, that they go over. If you open this before crossing and ruining that seal you have to start the process over. This was told to us by the Customs Officer when entered the US. He said. " you would be surprise on how many people open that envelope, and they have to start over again".
