My experience at the consulate went smoothly. I had an early appointment. You wait by the iron gates until they call your name, after which you get sent to the security check. They scan your belongings with a metal detector, and everything you don't need for your interview goes in a locker. You can access this locker at any time in case you forget something.
Next, you get in line for the document check. This can be a long wait the later your appointment is. Mine was about half an hour and I was among the earliest appointments. The staff member was very friendly (they all were if you have your documents well-prepared and orderly). However! For some reason, my daughter's medical records were not in their file. Even though this was an internal processing issue, this would have stopped the appointment then and there if hadn't brought physical copies of every single document—so be sure to do that!
After the document scan, you wait for the interview. There are... read complete review

1. Max 15mins before appointment they will let u in.
2. Wait in line and you’ll have to tell the guard why you’re there and what time your appointment is. You’ll have to give them your passport to confirm and they will let u in. They will check your bag and will tell you to walk straightforward and to turn
3. Once cleared, you will walk inside (one person at the time tho) and where you will put your belongings in a tray that will be x-rayed, and you will have to go through a metal detector (airport like). You won’t be able to bring your purse or bookbag with you, they will hold it for u and give you a note to pick it up later. I brought an accordion map and they didnt say anything about that.
4. Once let into the lobby, you have to go to window 5 (just walk straightforward) to check in. They will ask for your passport and your appointment hour. They will give you a ticket (k1 = immigrant), and you’ll have to wait for your turn.
5. When its your tu... read complete review

Had my k1 visa interview today at 7:45am. I arrived at the consulate at 7:20am and had to wait till 7:30am because the security didn't have the list of visitors yet.
When they got the list we were let in in order of arrival. I had 1 person in front of me.
Got in, got to the second security post where they scan everything, i was allowed to take my phone, wallet and my documents in, the rest they put in a locker and gave a ticket to get it back when you leave.
At the first booth you get a ticket number and when it got called they asked for the documents you needed to bring. Gave my medical exam package, birth certificate, divorce certificate, police certificate and picture and my passport off course.
After this I needed to wait again for a bit till I got called again to a booth around the corner to have my interview. The lady that did the interview was really nice. The questions were : how long are you dating, where did you meet, what work does your fiancee do... read complete review

Had my appointment at 8:15am, was let in at the gates at 7:55am.
Passed through security, they require you to empty your pockets and take off your belt, watch and jacket.
This all gets X-rayed.
(Car)keys are not permitted, so they kept them in a numbered box and gave you a piece of paper to retrieve if after the interview.
You go up to booth 5, which is labeled cashier, with your passport and DS-260 confirmation page, which then gets scanned.
You’re given a number and told to go to whichever booth is displayed on the screen, next to your number.
This employee looks at your civil documents, confirms a few things and takes your fingerprints.
You’re then told to sit back down and wait until your number gets called again.
This time you go to a US official that takes your interview.
They make you take an oath, check your documents again, then ask you a few questions.
In my case these were: What... read complete review

Overall, everything went pretty smoothly.
I arrived about 35 min early, so I had to wait until 15 min before the scheduled meeting to be let in at the gate. Once inside you go through a scanner. You cannot take car keys or large bags inside, but you can leave them there at check-in and pick them up on your way out. Inside, I queued for 15-20 min for initial processing by a Belgian employee. He checked all my documents and was very nice and helpful in doing so. He even gave back the proof of financial support I prepared (bank statements, proof of income,...), since it was not needed at this stage. He said it is always better to not submit anything that is not required, as it might do more harm than good. Afterward, I was instructed to sit down and wait for the actual interview with an American agent at another booth.
I only had to wait 10 min more before I was called up for the interview. The agent did not ask many questions, just the name of my fiancé ... read complete review
