Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

I went great!!!
The staff was very friendly and were making jokes. It really felt like they want you to succeed and they know you have been through a lot already. As the consular officer said "hang in there, you are almost there. You have done the hardest part!"

So here is how it happened:

-arrived at 12:35 for my interview at 1.
(for those who have never been to the embassy, you have to walk on the other side walk and then cross the street for security reasons)
You will have to leave all electronic devices outside, well the security will keep it and give you a little tag so you can take back your things. If you want to save time, put all of them together (like flash drive, turned off phone, perfume, lipstick, etc.) so you don't waste time at security.
-took a ticket, DO NOT FORGET TO TAKE ONE otherwise you will have to wait for no reason. Also make sure you take the right one. For example, K1 visa make sure you take the ticket... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

My appointment was at 1 PM on November 4th 2015. I got there about an hour early and just waited in the park nearby. Around 12:40 I decided I’d check to see if they’d let me in and as I was walking towards the entrance I saw soemone being sent back across the street. I asked her what the guard had said and she said she was told to wait across the street. After a seeing a family be admitted I decided I would at least make sure the guard knew I was there. When I told him what kind of visa I was here for, he told me to wait and called the girl who was across the street. The guard was fair to let her in before me since she had come to him before me.

Then there is another checkpoint where they scan your bags for electronics, which you have to leave with the guards before actually getting inside the embassy.

Once in the waiting room you are given a ticket and wait for your number to be called. I was number 4 so things didn’t take very long. I was called a ... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

The French consulate recently changed how they process the fiancé visa applications so we were a little confused as to how the new process works. To clarify to those who are about to go through the same process, our petition arrived at the consulate from NVC a full month before we received package 3 with instructions on what paperwork to gather for the interview. It also instructed us to send in a "readiness" form and to wait to receive package 4 to schedule the interview. Package 4 arrived about three weeks later and gave us an already scheduled interview date, time, further details about documentation to bring, and information about the medical appointment.

We only had one weeks notice of our appointment date, but Dr. Slattery fit my fiancé in right away. You go to his office, pay the first fee, get blood work taken, and then your vaccinations records are reviewed (in your carnet de santé). After you have to go to a different office for your x-rays. Here you pay di... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

J'ai eu mon rendez vous le 15 juillet à 13h, ressorti vers 15h.
Impossible de rentrer avec nourriture, liquide ou électronique (on dépose tout ça à l'entrée)
Une fois la sécurité passée, on remontre notre convocation à un petit guichet et on nous donne un ticket.
Après ça, on attend, on guette son numéro pour se présenter à 3 guichets au total avec ~40min d'attente entre chaque.

-Au premier guichet on montre sa convocation (et on nous donne un 2ème ticket)

-Au deuxième guichet : on donne tout les papiers (on m'a demandé le DS160, la lettre d'intent to marry de ma fiancée, la confirmation de paiement de USVISA-info.com, la photo d'identité, l'enveloppe scellée du médecin, ma copie d'acte de naissance et mon relevé de casier judiciaire). Ils m'ont scanné tout les doigts de la main pour mes empreintes et m'ont demandé si j'avais déjà pris mes billets d'avion (j'ai dit oui et j'ai donné la date).
