Do not arrive too early as security will only screen you at the time of your appointment. The interview lasted about 1.5-2 minutes, and it was fairly straightforward. The interviewing officer was polite, professional, and efficient. In the end, we were approved.
In exceptional cases, you can pay your K-1 MRV fee on the day of the interview if the fee payment website (ais.us-visainfo.com) is consistently not working. We had a long e-mail back-and-forth with the support team for this website weeks before the interview. They reset our account twice, but each time, we were prompted only for a courier fee but not the MRV fee. In total, we paid for about five envelopes, three before the interview and two on the day of the interview. If you need to pay the MRV fee, it will add another window to your visit. MRV fee payment is payable in cash only, US or Canadian dollars.
At one of the windows, we were given printed instructions to buy a postage paid MEDIUM envelope from CanadaPost (addressed to yourself from yourself) and submit it to security. Shortly after doing this, the consulate called us to tell us that the MEDIUM envelope was too small to fit everything. As it turns out, these printed instructions were for receiving US passports. We had to walk to CanadaPost a second time to buy a second postage-paid LARGE envelope. We were asked to fill out only the TO section (but not FROM), clip a piece of paper with our case number, and then return to the consulate to submit it to security. One security guard stubbornly asserted that only MEDIUM or SMALL envelopes are accepted, FROM must be filled, and no papers can be clipped to the envelope despite being given verbal instructions on the phone to the contrary. This was the only hiccup on the interview day. Other than that, the staff were generally polite and professional.

My fiance's entry on K-1 was very smooth. We had no secondary and the wait was minimal. As others have recommended, we used the non-US line. Both the immigration officer and the customs officer were LGBT-friendly and congratulated us. The wait for an officer was roughly 3 minutes long. She opened the packet and then flipped through it, looked at the medical very carefully, asked how long we had known each other, and then she asked when we planned to get married. My fiance's passport was then stamped with a validity of 90 days from today and the K-1 visa was crossed out. |

*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.
