Review Topic: K1 Visa

My appointment was at 8:30.
I got there around 8:00. There were 9 people waiting in front of me (my number was 209).

I got my first call around 8:45 and handed my documents.
Second call shortly after and got my X-ray back.
Third call and was asked for my family registry and told them I've given them with all my other documents.
4th call and got my fingerprints taken.

Waited about 30 minutes or so, around 9:30, they opened more windows
and started the interviews.
I was the third one to be interviewed. (around 9:40)
My interviewer was a young female and she was super nice.

We just has some casual conversation...not much of detail.
It only took about 3 minutes then I was approved!
She told me,
"8 years of relationship!? This is like one of the best visa we've given here!"

I left the embassy around 9:50.

Anyways, everyone at the embassy seemed ... read complete review

Thank you everyone who is updating all the information and posting your experiences here!

Everything over there went smooth. You will be explained step-by-step, so no confusion or anything. I arrived at the embassy at 08:00 and left there before 09:30.

I was called fourt times to the different windows.
1. Turn all required documents.
2. For the fingerprint.
3. Return unnecessary documents back to me.
4. Interview (Only this time I was called with my full name.)

Everyone I had to deal with was very friendly and nice. Interview took only a few minutes. It was more like just regular conversation instead of Visa interview.

Tips from me: Glue your passport size photo and the reciept for the visa fee on a designated place on a copy of DS156 and have another one without them. And don't staple together! Also arrive there very early and have some coffee near by so you won't hit the rush hour. In t... read complete review

Smooth process. As the petitioner, I was able to attend the window for all parts except the actual interview portion (which I was able to observe/hear from the waiting chairs just a few feet away.)

Embassy setup feels like the DMV here in the States. All preliminary information gathering and the final interview take place at one of 10 or so windows that are lined up along the wall of the waiting area.

Observed that the immigration officers were professional and courteous, most couples seemed to be moving through the process without issues.

Start to finish took about 2 hours, mostly just waiting to be called up to the window for different items. The interview itself was about 10 minutes.

Everything went very smooth. I answered more questions than my wife who was to be interviewed. The whole process took about 2 hours of which actual talking was about 20 minutes. Rest was just waiting time.

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Thanks to follow VJ members' reviews and advice, I could prepare enough for the interview today and I was approved. I had positive experiences and officers, a consular (interviewer) and security guards were very nice and kind.

I arrived at the gate 7:40 a.m. for my interview at 8:30 a.m. Only 4 parties were waiting when the embassy gate opened at 8 a.m.

I had to leave my cellphone and other electric equipment at the security point before entering the building. I went through a security check similar to airports. Then I was guided to the visa section office entrance. I signed in and was given a clear folder and an instruction sheet stating the order of the documents for putting in the folder (DS-156, DS-156K, the second copy of DS-156, police report, medical report, EXPACK and supporting documents)

I got the number first. At 8:30 a.m. they started calling the numbers. I submitted the folder to a Japanese officer. After about 10 minu... read complete review
