Had my interview scheduled for 10AM, with the expectation to come back in the afternoon.
Showed up at 9.55, got inside after some usual security and was showed to an interview room where I submitted all the documents. Surprisingly they did not want any of the extras such as the proof of relationship, NOAs etc. Only the basic things.
After that the lady went to ask when in the afternoon the consul could see me but came back 15 seconds later saying that she could see me this morning. After about a 15 minute wait I was called to the window, made to swear the truth and asked basically the following questions:
- How have you met?
- How long have you been together?
- Are you going to have a small or a big wedding?
A couple more questions which were related to my specific case (such as where did I go to college etc) later I was told that everything was good and that they would let me know by email when I could pick up the visa.
I was out of the building at 11 and went back for my visa 2 days later.
I have been to many consulates of many different countries in my life, but Bern has always managed to surprise me in a good way, and did it again this time.

My interview was scheduled for 11.30. Having driven over 3 hours to get to the office, we got in at 11. After security, we sat down and got called in 10 minutes later.
The lady interviewing us was very nice, clearly knew our file and after checking the DOBs and addresses she asked what documentation we had to prove we're living together. We showed a joint bank statement, a photo album and a couple other little things. She was quite happy with that and explained that the interview process is much simpler for K1 applicants since they have to submit so many documents and have so many different checks before they get to her.
She said she'd recommend me for the GC and we were out at 11.25.
Great experience overall, the only negative being the office location and how remote it is to almost all the locations it serves in Virginia. |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
