My fiancee is Romanian and we are almost ready to schedule her interview for her k1 visa. We are looking for some advise from anybody who has been through the process in Romania before.

Specifically, my fiancee is from Cluj and knows very little about Bucharest. She is going to have to make a long journey to get there. Unfortunately, I can't be there with her, and she will have to travel alone. For the trip, we are primarily considering train or bus, but we have talked a little bit about flying. Any tips here?

We noticed that the medical exam is far from the embassy. Any tips on whether a bus or taxi should be taken in the city to get to these areas?

Another question concerns hotels. What areas are good to stay in? Should she stay closer to the embassy or the medical exam locations?

Anything else we need to consider?
