Review Topic: K1 Visa

The Interview went very smooth, she did not need half of the documents I sent her as they did not even look at them after 6 questions, they said congratulations, we have approved your visa, Also they do look at this web site... and one of the gals there said she had seen our picture on Visa Journey. She was very nervous last night and could not sleep because she was worried about the interview, I told her all would go well and to trust in god. She was very excited to tell me the good news.

Review Topic: General Review

I was very happy with our review experience. I was 7.5 months pregnant at the time and everyone at the consulate was extremely accommodating. Just make sure that you do your part. Make sure that you have ALL of your required paperwork...and even more if you can provide it. If you're not sure whether or not you need it, bring it anyway. If they don't need it, they will give it back. Read all of the instructions carefully on the forms. Everything went smoothly for us because I made sure that I had EVERYTHING that they could possibly request. The actual interview was very pleasant. She could obviously see that we were in a true relationship (considering my pregnancy). She basically just asked my fiance how he met me and what he planned to do in the US. She was very friendly and encouraging. Not at all what I was expecting. Basically, for a positive outcome, do the following:
**Arrive on time(get there a bit early if you can, the line will get long but everyone is there for differen... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

We arrived @ 6am, 3rd in line. K-1s line up by the door. We entered @ 715am and went upstairs to the waiting room. The assistant in the room had us organize our papers and checked them. Then we were called into an interview booth for an officer to review the papers. This was not the interview.javascript:emoticon('')She gave us back some papers and the our # and told us to go sit and wait. We waited another 20 mins for the real interview.

INTERVIEW:
A nice young woman greeted us and asked ChaCha to sign & swear. She asked about 8 questions, mostly about our relationship. Unfortunately, I didn't include my tax info with the I-134. So i had to email it to them. Otherwise APPROVED!
Total time: 2 hours

Word to the wise: Relax, dont stress, and be patient. As long as your love is real and your paperwork is correct (and presentjavascript:emoticon('') you will have no problems.

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

This is going to be a short review, as I was not there for the interview and is based on what my wife told me...

Wife and kids got to the embassy around 6:45am and there were some people there, not many. At 7:45am sharp they were aloud inside. Once inside, the people that was going fot a CR-1 Visa got in a different line then the K-1 people... then, a very nice lady told them how to organize the documents...they have to be in a specific order. My wife and kids were the very last ones for the CR-1 interviews... they left the embassy around 11:45am

Only questions she was asked, were:

Where did we meet.
How many times have I visited her?
When did we marry?

after the last question the officer said to her with a smile " your visas are approved, congratulations"

They did not ask her for any documents or pictures, even though she took about 100 pages of documents and about 40 pictures.

She ... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

We arrived at the 7.15 am arrival time and were escorted into a room where 4 other couples were waiting for a similar interview. Luckily, we jumped the enormous line for people waiting for tourist visa approvals!! It appears they handle tourist requests and other visa requests separately, which makes sense, since there are much fewer people (or so it appears) in the process for visas other than tourist visas.

There was a very kind young woman attending to us pre-interview who requested us to organize our documents in a particular way so that when it came time to the interview, the consul could skim through them. The interview itself was very short and sweet, just a few questions were presented to my fiance (I could have been present there with him, but I was getting us coffee at the time!!) ;-( We didn\'t realize we would be called so quickly! I know she asked him how and when we met, but that's all I can remember as far as questions asked. I can find out more, if ... read complete review
