After a year the K1 VISA process is done. I had my interview on Tuesday and am just waiting for the VISA to arrive.

Words of wisdom?!?

Be patient.

Read everything top to bottom, backwards and forwards.

Be organized.

If you're not sure ASK!!! Call directly to whomever it is you need to ask. Don't rely on second hand information!!!

Visajourney has been an immense help. Some of the info can be a little outdated, but things change so fast sometimes it's hard to keep up. The consulate reviews came in EXTREMELY handy. I went to the US consulate in Montreal, Canada. I followed one of the reviews to the tee. Everyone else didn't have a clue where to go, what door or window, etc.

Can anyone tell me how to do a consular review? I've tried to click on the link while I've been logged in and it tells me I have to be registered!?!

One word of warning. When I got to the consulate, all my paperwork in hand and proud of it, I found out the DS-156 form I had was the wrong one!!! I was supposed to do it online. The online form produces a barcode on the form. The ones the consulate sent me in my packet don't have the barcode. Unfortunately, they didn't send me the little supplemental page that informed me that I HAD to use the online forms. I was told to proceed with the interview process and either go to an internet cafe and fill out the forms, or go home and mail them. I went to internet cafe around the corner. I was given a pass to get back into the consulate, since they took my passport. Everyone was really good about everything.

Take care and best of luck to everyone!!!

ps....it's really not all that bad....it just takes a long time!
