I attended the interview with my wife and step-daughter. Their interview was scheduled for 2pm. We arrived at the main entrance around 1:30pm. There was another person being processed so we had to wait about 5 minutes and then they let us in. We were given number 4 and after going through a metal detector and handing over cell phones we proceeded to the consulate section of the Embassy. There we waited until 2pm when two of the windows opened, #7 and #8. It took about 15 minutes for them to process those that were ahead of us. When they called us up to the window they reviewed our packets and asked a few simple questions like had my wife ever applied for a visa before or if she had ever been to the US. She told the woman that she had applied for a Tourist Visa but was denied. She then asked for the medical results and any other documents we wanted to provide. We gave her the medical results along with about a dozen photos and some credit card statements that showed charges from both my... read complete review

Jon's (Chilean beneficiary) review of the embassy...
I got to the embassy at 1:20pm my interview was at 2:00. I was by myself waiting outside. At 1:30 two couples showed up to get in line for the K-1 visa as well. The security guy opened the door at 1:35. He asked me to go in and told us to take out any cell phones or electronic device and I had to give it to them. Then I had to walk through the metal detector. He gave me two numbers. One was red for my locker number one was yellow (Number 1) for the number of my place in line for the interview. Then I went outside to the courtyard. It was a huge place but there you can see a path to the consulate. In front of the door that says "Consulado" there was another security guy who told me to take a seat and wait for my number to be called. After I walked into the room nobody was there. There were just three girls (Chilean) at a desk working quietly on paperwork but it had nothing to do with me. I took a seat in fr... read complete review

My fiance's interview was scheduled for the beginning of the new year. She had to show up the day before to hand in her paparwork which took 4 hours to do and then was scheduled the next day at 7:30 AM to wait in line for what would be another 3 hours for a 5 minute interview. While the whole point is for Visa approval which was relatively easy  the process of getting to that interview was ridiculous. She even had to go through the Immigrant line even though this is a nonimmigrant visa. That was confusing in itself. All-in-all we are happy. She has the visa. But if you have to go through any interview process at all here, please be well prepared and EARLY.

I am the US petitioner, and my fiance, Carlos is the Chilean beneficiary. We have been living together and working in Santiago for about a year and a half now.
Yesterday (Aug 31st) we went to the US Embassy for his interview. I was quite nervous, but everything turned out great. We arrived at about 1:30pm (a half hour before his interview time - 14:00). There was a line outside, which we waited in. Once they opened the doors a little after 1:30pm, the line moved pretty quickly. Security let us through at about 1:40pm, and when they saw us they actually commented "la pareja feliz, pasen". That made us smile! They gave us a red number to claim our cellphones after the interview and a yellow number to be called in order for the interview. Then we put out stuff on the x-ray scanner table and walked through the metal detector, and out the back door through the patio, and into the Consulate. There were quite a few people in there waiting for various types of visas. We waited ... read complete review

We had our K-1 visa interview on 7/21/11 at 2:00 pm. We waited in the line outside until I noticed that US citizens don't have to wait in line. We jumped ahead and went inside. The security guards directed us to the waiting area.
After about 30 minutes they called Carolina to the window. I went up with her and we spoke with the Consulate worker. She said that she just needed some papers from Carolina, and she asked me to have a seat. She said that I could be present for the acutal interview.
Carolina spoke with the woman, and after a few minutes she began to wave me over. Carolina did not know that she was supposed to pay in advance, we thought that we were going to pay that day. Luckily the woman still allowed us to have the interview, but we weren't off to a good start. Carolina had also forgotten to fill out a paper so she did that quickly.
After that we had to sit and wait for the interview. It was another 15-25 minutes before they c... read complete review
