Rating:  | Review Topic: K1 Visa
I visited the US Embassy with my fiancee for her K1 interview. The actual interview was no more than 15 minutes. Most of the time - just waiting to be called. She did provide both hands for biometrics and we had to provide an ordered list of documents for our case.
The room had about 100 seats and was about 1/3 filled up Monday morning. There were 10 glass interview station booths with semi private walls between each. It felt more like a DMV, not so much a bank and difficult to imagine that one of the most important life interviews would be conducted in such a manner.
At about 9:30am, we had the interview after submitting documents ( her DS-156 and my I-134 bundle ). They kept most of my I-134 paperwork, but handed back some of my tax, bank, real estate papers. The room had seats for about 100 - some Russian family, an Indian family, some Japanese ladies with military husbands sat in the room..
I was fortunate to meet another woman whose fiance from California, is a VJ member. how cool is that! I said hello and heard her story.
Anyways the CO asked my fiancee how we met. He tried to find out any mistakes in her answer as to each of the visits she made to SF to visit me. He quizzed her on meeting the family and what she plans to do in America.
My fiancee said he made some small jokes and overall he was quite courteous and cheerful. His only concern was why she lost her F-1 visa paperwork from 10 years ago when she studied English in Los Angeles. But it was fine- she was honest - that she probably lost it.
During the interview, I had to sit in the back of the room. At the end, she was approved and he called me up to stand next of her. He asked if we had and questions and instructed her to bring a special packet to POE by hand to give to the officials in US.
