Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

Entered the embassy at 8:10.
At first in the embassy, I was called out to give out the documents. I had new I-864 just in case, but the person at the counter told me they did not need the new I-864.
I waited about 10 minutes to get my finger prints.
After that, I waited again for the interview.
The interviewer was a nice lady. She asked me how we met, where we went for our first date, what we did to keep our relationship while we were doing long distant thing, when we got engaged, how many people attended our wedding, if we have any children and what my husband does for living.
The interview was like a fun conversation. She was very friendly and nice.
She congratulated me and informed me that my passport with visa would arrive in a week or so.
I walked out the door at 9:10.

Review Topic: K1 Visa

My appointment time was 9:15am and the confirmation letter said that I should arrive at the entrance gate 15 minutes prior to my interview time. I got there around 8:45am, and the guards let me in as soon as I got there. I got through the security and was given a slip with a number when I entered the waiting/interview room. I was No.44. They also gave me a small slip that I should write my name, address, and phone number in and told me to submit it with other documents. I knew from other people’s posts that it would be a 3-step process. First you submit your paperwork and they will check to see if you have everything required. Secondly, they will take your fingerprints, and finally you have the actual interview with a Consular officer. For some reason I only had two steps. I waited for more than 2 hours before my number was called for the first step. I got very sleepy and tired just sitting and waiting in the room :-P I should have brought something to read or kill time with.

It has been a while since I had my interview, so… things may have been changed.
I encourage those who are going to take their interview soon to check blogs and other sources to be prepared and to be updated. It really helps you a lot!!!!

(For my case) I was at the embassy early in a morning, passed the security check, put my documents in order, sit down and wait till you are called for your biometry, again (go back) sit down and wait till you are called for your personal interview.
My total waiting time was around 3 hours. Be prepared that you cannot play around with your cell phones or any other devices.

My interview was quite short and it took about 5 – 10 minutes

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Here's my recent (summer 2015) K-1 interview experience at the Tokyo Embassy.

Given the ferocious heat, the embassy is calling on interviewees not to come earlier than 15 minutes before appointment time. Anyway I planned to come to the gate by 8:30 for a 9:15 appointment. Unfortunately something happened on the way and reached there just at 9:00.
All the process was complete in about 2 and a half hours so if you come at 9, your expected out-of-the-embassy time should be 11:30.

- You have to walk around to reach the gate for security reasons. Give yourself additional time for it. Don't panic, follow the road rules, don't break rules in front of J policemen. It's hot, I know, I know.
- There's a TV in the room. You can check time on the screen.
- There's also a water cooler, a vending machine and a photo booth.


I waited about 1h and 15min to submit my paper works.(window #4, J officer)

- People who ... read complete review
