Review Topic: K1 Visa

R had her interview in October, 2014. She said it was very smooth and they barely asked any questions. We received the visa in her hometown in Fukuoka a few days later.

Her exact words were 'Super easy'.

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

I am the petitioner, and my husband is the beneficiary. We came from Aomori the day before & had planned to make our "last" trip to Tokyo a bit of a vacation.

The interview was scheduled for 8:45am (12/1), but after hearing from a friend who had an interview for the student visa years before about how crowded it could get, we decided to make sure we were at the consulate an hour early. When we got there, people were just being let in. Security went smoothly. We entered the building & were given number 7. We were handed a clear plastic file & a small piece of paper, telling us what order to put our paperwork in.

& that is when I remembered - I had forgotten my husband's medical results! I had been so worried about our updated Affidavit of Support from our sponsor that the medical had completed been wiped from my mind. My husband was furious, and I wanted to break down and cry. We decided that we would let the first person we talked to know & see where it ... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

I had my interview in Tokyo at December 1st. It's rain at that day , Im the first person arrived at embassy at 7am and my appointment at 08.45 . Finally when I can going inside they check my belongings, leave the umbrella outside and all going under x-ray, they also keep my cellphone.
And in the other building there is a women who give clear folder to keep the paperwork and when going inside the room another woman give the waiting number.
I got second number cause somebody running faster than me, but it doesnt matter cause even I got second number later my interview is slower than the other.
After they told me to put the birthcertf, passport, photo and Affidavit Of Support paperwork and letterpack plus in the clear folder , my number get called.
There is a big screen that show which number in which counter.
First I have to give my paperwork to the nice pretty lady in counter 3 and she asking how do I meet my husband and where is he, and then she ... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

This is what my fiance told me her experience was. There were three people involved with the process.

There was first a person to take her finger prints.

Then there was a person who checked her medical records, police records and affidavit of support.

The third person was the person conducting the interview. Some of the questions were...

How did we meet?
Has she met my family?
Have I met her family?
Did we use Skype for communication?

Then he went on typing some information in the computer and told her she was approved.

He did not ask for any of the papers we prepared for proof of relationship, so she offered them to him. He said he did not need to see them and that her answers to his questions were enough.

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

I will omit the details of the actual interview as mine was very similar to other reviews that were posted earlier on here. Mine only took an hour, which was surprising to me! I seriously expected to be there until noon.

I also thought people who went thorough NVC document check seemed to be called quicker than others such as K-1 applicants. I guess the embassy doesn't really have a lot of documents they need to check themselves since NVC had already done that. I actually finished before many of those who came into the embassy before I did.

Tokyo staff were very professional and efficient. Don't be afraid to ask questions if you are not sure about anything. They will kindly answer your questions.

Things I have noticed that might have changed or be useful to others are:

1. If you have a joint sponsor, you may be asked to submit I-864A as an additional document by the embassy. I received an e-mail from them about a week before... read complete review
