Review Topic: K1 Visa

While the workers and officers were quite efficient (my interview was all of 5 minutes), the security officers upon entry were embarrassingly rude towards many people whose native language wasn't english. One security guard even kicked a woman's purse out the door after she had dropped it, angry at her that she had food inside it. Another called two girls lesbians (to which they didn't understand but others laughed at) when they didn't know they had to enter seperately if not related.

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

I arrived at the consulate just after 7am and there was a couple and another woman in front of me. At 7:30 the guard came and unlocked the doors. The first couple in line was not allowed in because he was carrying a computer bag. I was the second person in, and had to go through a metal detector like the airport and have my bag scanned. I was the first one downstairs, and I sat in the first chair next to the elevator. The room got full and a guard came down and paged the elevator and sent us up to the 19th floor. I was the first one off the elevator. We had to line up to get numbers, and I got C-1. Then we had to sit down under the the sign to immigrate to the USA. I sat for probably about 5-10 minutes before I was called up to window 9. The man was very nice and I had to give him my passport pictures, my original birth certificate (the long one), and our marriage certificate.
Since we did electronic processing, he wanted a DS-230 filled in, but I had one with me already filled... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

My husband and I arrived at the Consulate at 7am on May 24, we were the first people there. Two others arrived a while after and ust a bit after 7:30 a guard came and unlocked the door. They asked for my interview letter and let us inside.

All my papers were in a file folder and envelope, we brought no bags or electronics, plus we both wore fairly light clothes so security was a breeze. We were told to go downstairs and wait and a security officer would be down in about 20mins to escort us further. We went and sat near the elevator and at 8am a security officer came down and asked those there for immigration and NOT visa's to enter the elevator. This caused much confusion for most people who had gathered in the waiting area, but not me I was first on and went to the back left. This didn't help me much as only one other family got on behind us.

The security officer was very nice and the other family asked him a few questions on the way up.

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Had a great experience with the consulate there...

We had our interview and my fiance was approved for K-1 on May 13. It's now the 27th of May and she hasn't any status on the DHL package on CSC website.

How long has been everyone's experience after approval to actually getting your visa back? I think that two weeks is probably too long. Maybe I'm wrong. She's now kidnapped and can't really travel now.

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Thank you to all VJ'ers , without whom, I would still be waiting for my Pkt 3 to arrive !!

I arrived about 7:25am and there was a line up of about 8 people.....but it quickly grew so thanks for all suggestions to get there early. ( 5 more minutes and I would have been half way down the street )
Shortly thereafter, the guard opened the door and asked to see passport and confirmation letter. ( he did refuse entry to people who had big purses and cel phones, so carry as little as possible with you).

Once through the outside door, I waited for customs/security officers to let me through the door to the screening area. Again passport and confirmation letter looked at. Just as with the last review I read here, my name was not on the master list but after calling another officer over, they decided since I had an appointment confirmation letter that they had to let me through ( PHEW - a few minutes of the heart skipping a few beats)
