Review Topic: K1 Visa

I postoponed interviews about a year due to my family issues and my then
fiance's fiance issue. At the time of interview I was nervous as I didn't know
what to expect. But it wasn't much of an issue after all.

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Prior to arriving, I called the visa call center to confirm that I can bring my fiance to the interview. He only had to bring his passport.

We arrived a little bit early for our 9 am interview, and I was 23rd in line.
The lady who received my application was very nice.

I brought:
- appointment confirmation
- 2 passport photos
- DS160 confirmation
- Fiance's i-134
- Cousin's i-134
- My bank information
- PH & JP Police Certificate (sealed)
- Sealed X-ray and papers from the Tokyo British Clinic
- evidence of meeting (photos, airplane tickets, letter of intent)
- LetterPack 500 (wasn't needed after all)
- Birth Certificate (wasn't needed, since I already sent out a copy prior)

She returned my fiance's i-134, because he is currently unemployed, and accepted my cousin's i-134 and my bank information.
She unsealed the x-ray envelope, took out the paper... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

I got there around 7:40 for 8:30 appointment and there were a few people already waiting in front of the embassy.
After getting inside, they gave me a number and clar file to put all the documents in.
My number was called to hand in the documents in file. They went through the documents, returned some of the documents they didn't need, and asked if I have some documents they needed(and I did. phew..)
My number was called again to take finger prints.
They called my number again for the interview.
These are the questions the officer asked;
- How did you meet?
- When did you start dating?
- Were you dating whole time since then?
- Dis you have any other visa in the US?
- When did both of you move to Japan?
- Were you living Japan whole time since then?
- Do you have kids?
- What kind of job is petitioner looking in the US?
- Are you planning to work in the US?

The officer was ... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Haven't gotten all the details from my fiance yet, but from what she tells me, it went well despite a few snags. We made a minor mistake on the I-129 and her G-325A about her city of birth. All along she thought she was born in one city, but upon looking at her birth certificate for the first time, she was actually born in another. She brought an updated copy of the i-129 and the G-325A and told the person collecting her paperwork about the mistake. Obviously this doesn't happen often and my fiance was made to wait a little longer than usual for the interview while the consulate sorted out the paperwork. During this part of the morning, my fiance was asked an amazingly frivolous question by the person collecting the paperwork — "Why did you make a mistake?"

Interview begins and my fiance suspects that her interviewer was new to the job, because he seemed preoccupied with paperwork, post-it notes, etc. He asks my fiance about our history and he seemed confused about ou... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Our experience at the Tokyo embassy was very smooth and pleasant.

We were not able to get written confirmation that I (USC) was allowed to attend with my fiancé, but because we had put in the interview request that I would attend (with my full name), this was enough to satisfy the police at the first checkpoint. I am pretty sure that if we didn't have that paper to show with my name on it, we would have had a problem. At the second checkpoint one of the staff was confused by my presence, but the other staff member clarified that for the K-1 visa interview the USC fiancé is allowed to attend, and we were allowed in without hassle.

We went with ~100 pages of documents and proof of relationship, etc. In the end, all we were asked to submit was:
- Passport
- 1 photo
- DS-160 confirmation page
- Certified Family Register (equivalent of birth certificate) with translation
- I-134 with supporting docs
- Police Certific... read complete review
