Review Topic: K1 Visa

Here just the interview part:

When called in, we both went in and an American man speaking Portuguese (strongly accented) started asking my fiancee (beneficiary) some questions in an aggressive way. He did not seem to understand the Portuguese word for my profession, when she answered what my profession was.

the accented Portuguese and aggressive demeanor of the officer only made my fiancee more nervous than she already was and neither were communicating smoothly.

Within a few minutes, the officer stopped the interview, went back and came back within 5 minutes or so. He then asked us come back at 2pm (5 hours).

When we came back we were interviewed separately with me (sponsor) going first. A lot of detailed questions. My answers were not really important. They wanted to see if my fiancee, interviews later, would respond the same way to detailed personal questions or not.

Of course she did and we were approved b... read complete review

My fiancé interview was on January 24th at 7:15 a.m. I was able to go in the day of the interview, as
well to be at the room with him. We brought everything necessary, documents, medical exams, album of pictures, emails, text messages. The American council did not ask for anything. Just a few questions, when did we meet, when he had proposed, how was my kids name, and what was his purpose in going to U.S. Of course he said he was going because he wants to be with me, marry me, and because he loves me. It was no more than 3 minutes. He said it was approved, and we left the place extremely happy.
He is getting here today in Boston at 11:00 a.m.
God bless you all! God has been so good to us!!

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Upon arrival there are several different lines of people outside of the consulate. There will be people greeting you and instructing you which line to get into. Luckily, the line for the K1 Visa is very short. Anyhow, our appointment was for 9:20am but we go there at 6:55am. There was no need to come that early and we were instructed by a guy with a checklist to go to a cafe and relax because they would only allow the 7:20 reservations inside the consulate. Eventually, all the 9:20am people were called into the consulate at 8:30am. I would advise blowing past other couples when going up the stairs to the holding room because the first one through those doors will get to go first. This gentleman (same guy who had the checklist outside) speaks to everyone and then hands out forms. It does not matter who finishes the forms first. The first couple through the door and seated will be tended to first. This guy helps you organize the forms and then he notifies another guy at a window... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

The process was very easy. We arrived at about 6:30. Our interview was scheduled for 7:15am. There were not many people waiting in line when we got there, but as the time got closer to 7 more people arrived. At around 7 a couple of the workers came to verify that each person was on the list for an interview that day and to give us a piece of paper that basically had the same information printed 3 times that we would need to fill out and that they would cut off and attach to various papers throughout the process.

When we got inside they gave us a list of the documents needed and the order that they needed to be in. We were the called one by one to a table in the back where they verified that we had all of the documents. Once that was completed we waited until we were called to one of the windows where they verified the documents again and combined them with our I-129F petition.

We the waited again until we were called for the interview. They asked my fian... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

I arrived at the consulate at about 6:30 am. I was the 4th on the line.
Before getting into the building a nice guy asks us where did we come from and give us a form, which we will be filling after receiving the instructions. Around 7 am we started to come inside going directly to the 1st floor.

There the same guy - Alex - gives us another 2 papers. Now we have 3 papers on our hands and he started to give us instructions:

1. The small form with a number - the one we received outside - we gotta fill with our name, RDJ(case number) and date. It has three parts that are receipts, at the end we will keep one piece of it.

2. The contact form we need to fill with our name, case number, address on RJ (if you're not from RJ don't forget to have the hotel/place you're staying contacts), petitioner address, telephone and e-mail.

3. The order of the documents we had to bring to the consulate IF it were not sent to NVC already.
