Went smooth, was taken to a room so they could finish and put aside my visa envelope and that was it, no questions or anything. You just have to try and understand as much as you can and just follow whatever they do and not ask questions because it all feels sort of "messy" and quick, they don't tell you what they're doing or where they're taking you and why.. |

| Embassy Review : |
I arrived at 7:45 and was led in around 8:10. You simply stand outside the entrance at the immigration line (yellow sign) and wait until they call you in - you don't have to introduce yourself, they sort of pick who's coming in. Then you have to walk up to this window where you are asked to show your passport, take your jacket off and show the soles of your shoes. They do a security check just like at an airport and you get your bag scanned. Then they tell you to follow a line and go to window G. The line leads to a building where an officer will ask you why you're there and just say that it's for a K1 visa and go to window G. You will have to leave your passport at window G and wait until you're called. Once called, a person will be ready to take your documents; in my case I was asked to hand in DS-160, passport photos, my birth certificate, my fiancée and my co sponsor's tax return transcripts for the past three years and their affidavit of support, proof of relationship and police certificate NOTE!! If you're from Denmark you HAVE TO GET YOUR CERTIFICATE FROM THE POLICE STATION!! - the online version does not work even if it is in English and has a signature - you need an original signature (the lady at the window told me it is a common mistake for Danes and they're trying to inform the Danish police of this inconvenience). Then I was told to wait and was later called for the interview. First you have to say an oath that you will say only the truth. Your fingerprints will be taken and then you are asked the questions. The interview is done standing up (in the same room as window G) and the questions are asked quite fast but the woman was in my case very nice and seemed to really want the case to go well.
My main questions were;
Where did you meet
When did you first meet
What did you do when you first met
When did you get engaged
Where did he propose
When was the last time you met
I was very nervous but everyone at the embassy seems to only want the best for you and you can see that they want to help you as much as possible to finally be together with your other part :-)
Also, if you still feel completely lost - don't worry - the officers are there to help and guide you through!

*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.
