they already wrote back... Nov. 20! A week earlier than I requested actually!

Guess they felt sorry for me and my anxiety!

PS - it is at 10:AM. Should I show up at 10 or earlier? I seem to recall posts that people show up early and get in line, or did I make that up?

That works at other embassies sometimes, but not at Vancouver. Show up at 9:45 or so, and you'll be all good. The guards will let you into the K-visa line when they see your x-ray envelope.

(...are you supposed to bring the x-ray to the interview??)

(...are you supposed to bring the x-ray to the interview??)

I never brought mine and they never asked for it ... One of the ladies that was there for her K-1 the same day as me had hers with her and she never was asked for it either and ended up holding it on her lap the whole day ...

I got there at 9:45am and saw a long-line outside the consulate door. However once I got to the entrance I was told by the security guard once I showed him my letter that because I was a K1 visa applicant I didn't have to stand in line. Therefore I ran to Starbucks a couple doors down and grabbed a coffee and a muffin. Figured some food would calm my nerves but I could barely keep the muffin down - lol. Once I was guided through initial security, I was given a sheet listing the required materials I should have brought with me, told to put them in the proper order, and to sit in a designated area and wait for my name to be called. I was probably waiting 45 minutes before I was called. After the woman behind the window took my documents I was waiting for another 45 minutes. The actual interview took about 5 minutes - it was a breeze. Once I was approved I was told to come back at 2pm to pick up my visa. It was a cinch! Best of luck to you!!!!
