| Embassy Review : |
Overall, I feel that the K1 interview process at the US embassy was smooth and quite simple.
I had my appointment scheduled for 10 AM and arrived about an hour before. The trickiest part of this whole experience was figuring out where to line up outside the embassy, since there were a lot of people standing in the non-immigration line and no one was standing in the immigration line. But after a few seconds of hesitation I saw where I was supposed to stand (just next to the more luxurious non-immigration line which is covered by glass). I was called immediately to go through the security check. After that I followed the yellow marking to another building where the interview was to be held. I went up to window 7 to hand over my documents to a kind Swedish-speaking woman. This is what material she requested:
Passport
DS-160 confirmation page
2 passport style photos
Birth certificate (personbevis)
Police records
Evidence of ongoing relationship
And because we have a co-sponsor, the co-sponsor's financial information.
After that, I waited for about 15-20 minutes before being called up to another window for the actual interview. The nice American woman who interviewed me started with taking my fingerprints, before she proceeded to ask a few very simple questions. Not much more than:
How and when we met, and what we did on our first date
When we plan on getting married
Who the Co-sponsor is and what she does for a living
That was pretty much it! I was approved and since they already had my medical report, everything was in order and now all I have to do is wait a few days for my visa-endowed passport to arrive in the mail.
To summarize, the interview was more or less a breeze and a pretty comfortable "home stretch" before you cross the finishing line with an approved visa application! |

Just had my interview for Adjustment of Status from a K1 visa.
My wife and I arrived 30 minutes early as instructed. We had to wait just a little past our appointment time before someone called my name. The IO was very friendly and easygoing. First he gave some instructions and took my fingerprints. He then proceeded to ask a few very simple questions, basically just seeing if I remember some of the things I filled in on the application. He then asked quite a lot of questions of the type "do you plan on selling drugs in the US" and so on, and then he asked me three "personal" questions about my wife - name, favourite food, and favourite song. And that was it - he did not ask for a single thing from the fat binder I had prepared. Not even one photograph or identification documents for our co-sponsor or anything. Literally not a single piece of paper. So that was a pretty big waste of paper, plastic and ink... but of course we are happy that the interview was so easy.
Our case might have been a bit unusual in that we filed from a K1 but we actually lived together in my home country before we moved to the US, so maybe they required a little less evidence of a bona fide relationship than they normally do. At any rate, I'd say the whole experience was just about as pleasant and pain-free as a government/immigration related experience can be. |

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
