Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Jerusalem consulate is way more laid back than the one in Tel Aviv.
At first I stood in the line for the counter outside. My interview was at 9:15 but I got there at 8 am. Still they let me in. I deposit my cell phone at Security and got in with my backpack and documents. After about 15 minutes they called my name to the counter and the nice lady has gone over all the documents she needed from me. After that I set down and waited for the consul to call me for the interview.
It took a while, about 40 minutes till the consul called me to another counter. She was very sweet and kind and asked me just a coupe of questions before she said that was it, except there was a problem with my DS-260 that was for some reason open in their system and because of that, they couldn't take my fingerprints. That was a problem cause their internet just went down or something. I went out took my smartphone and closed it outside of the building. I came in again through security, same drill, a... read complete review

It was a friendly interview.
It seem like our case was carefully read and reviewed by the American Consulate.

The whole process was smooth. The consulate was very kind and helpful. They responded to every email within 48 hours, and the interview process was great.

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

The interview was scheduled for 9:45am on 12/8/2015 in Jerusalem. We left a few hours early from home to be sure to beat the traffic and it was a good thing we did.We needed to stop by the medical office to pick up the package and then make our way to the consulate.We arrived 45 minutes early, I dropped of my husband because they made it clear I was not allowed entrance.
My husband was allowed inside after 15-20 minutes of waiting in line and in about an hour later he was called to the window and they told him,that on the DS-260 he entered that the last passport was issued in Costa Rica and it's not correct because it was issued in the embassy of Israel in CR and not in Costa Rica. He would need to go to the computer and change it or the interview would be canceled and rescheduled for another day.The issue for my husband was that he had never filled out one form in the process, and knew nothing about how to do so, I did it all.The woman who informed him was very kind, but clear... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

My fiance and I had an unconventional interview experience, but we earned an “approval” so this story has a happy ending. Here are the details:
We arrived for his appointment on Nov. 4 about an hour early, and I waited with him in the line outside until it was time for him to go inside. I was not allowed inside the Consulate even though I asked nicely and previously emailed them for permission, which was also denied.

It took 4 hours before my fiance came out of the building. The clerk asked him for some preliminary documents: his birth certificate, Form #807 (honorable army discharge), the I-134, my latest tax transcript (I had the previous 3 years but he only needed the most recent), a recent W2 (we had several), along with a few others. We organized our documents in a three-ring binder with the documents in page protectors (do not punch holes in your documents, use page protectors!) and the clerk complimented my fiance on how organized his documents were.... read complete review
