Review Topic: K1 Visa

It was very simple and easy however I was a nervous wreck!

I provided all the docs that was requested on the checklist. Took a ticket and when my number was called I went upto the window. A lady went through my paperwork, and just asked if I have lived in any other countries, ever been arrested etc. she then said to take a seat and I'll be called up for my interview. Again my number was called and I went upto the window (yes you will be interviewed in front of everyone) took my oath fingerprints etc and was asked the following questions:

- when did you meet
- how many times has he been to Australia
- why did we wait a year to file paperwork
- what does he do for work
And then he said your file is complete. I asked him if I had been approved haha and he said yes you have been approved must marry writhing 90 days etcetc and then came the tears! All in all it was very straightforward!

Review Topic: General Review

I went to my interview full of the normal nerves and jitters. The consulate staff were fantastic, putting me at ease right away. The interview was a lot easier then I thought, a total of 45 min from entry to exit time. It took about a week to receive the package and I am now in the US getting used to my new life.
Just a note; I had heard that airport immigration would need to see my chest x-ray on arrival in the US. This was not so. You would be best to double check before lugging it in your hand luggage

Much easier and nicer than I expected. They are professional but helpful - they are there to help you, not work against you. Will post more soon.

Review Topic: K1 Visa

My fiancee and I were super nervous for his interview but he said the guy was nice and it was very quick and everything went smoothly and he was approved on the spot. He said it was incredibly quick and that the interviewer only asked about 4 questions, just simple questions about me (his US fiancee) what I do for work, and who our co sponsor is. All in all, it was a good experience : )

Review Topic: K1 Visa

This was a far better experience than my student visa back in 2012. Rather than an hour of waiting, it took 5-10 minutes between walking in the door and jumping in the elevator up to the main floor of the consulate.

My ticket was called within 5-10 minutes to have my paperwork collected. Of course, they collect it at the counters away from the waiting area where nothing can be heard, and do the interviews in front of everyone else where everything can be heard. No secrets! Most interviews took 5-10 minutes, some a little longer. People with anything on their police record, previous visa troubles or any doubt about their relationships were questioned pretty heavily.

My interview seemed to be the shortest of all the ones I saw. It took 3-4 minutes. I was basically asked when we met, gave a basic outline of our relationship, asked if I had any medical issues or trouble with the police. It felt more like a casual conversation than anything else. Approved witho... read complete review
