Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

So my interview was yesterday. My appointment was at 10am I arrived at 9:30am. I went straight to the immigrant visa window and spoke with B. She was very pleasant as expected reading from all the reviews about her. She said she'll get all my paperwork ready then call me back.

20 minutes later I was called back, she went through all my paperwork and then asked for my bank statement and resume which I gave to her. She could tell I was very nervous so she said it's a done deal already, there's nothing to worry about.

I took a seat then was called up by the CO 20 minutes later. I took the oath then only asked two questions. Why do I want to move to America? Am I sure I want to move to America? After that he handed me back my originals, kept my passport and prepaid envelope then said I was free to go. She sent me an email today to say visa has been issued and it'll be leaving their office on Monday.

Review Topic: K1 Visa

My visit to the Auckland consulate started with taking the elevator on the Citi building on Customs street to the 3rd floor. I showed my interview and appointment letter to the security guard at the door. He asked if I had a cell phone which I did so I put this in a tray and was given a number card to claim it back when the interview was done. The security guard then scanned my evidence of a relationship I had on me with the x ray machine then directed me through the door to window number 5. Window number 5 was busy so I sat down in the waiting area. When window 5 was free I rung the bell and waited for assistance, a very nice older lady came and welcomed me and asked for my appointment letter and passport. She then explained the K1 process to me and gave me my birth certificate, DS3025 immunisation form and a CD containing my X ray on. She looked through the I134 and other evidence I had provided and said that everything looks good. She directed me to the cashiers window where I payed... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Arrived at the Consulate early, through the metal detector, and had bag & phone held. Took wallet & papers needed for interview. Would have slipped a book in there had I known that I would wait over 2hrs! Room was full, and after a 20min wait was called up by a lovely woman to go through my application ensuring all papers were there, which they were. She informed me they were two officers down so there would likely be a significant wait. I then paid the fee and sat!

I was the last one interviewed for the day, after waiting for 2hrs I was very pleased to be called up, unfortunately only to be told they had uncovered some information regarding my fiance, and I was handed a refusal! Fortunately I was informed that I wouldn't need to do another interview nor oath, and I was given clear information how to go about rectifying the situation, which turned out the information they had found was incorrect, & I was granted the Visa two days later!

I was asked for e... read complete review

Review Topic: Direct Consular Filing

The staff at the Immigrant Visa Section in Auckland are amazing! After waiting for months on end to hear from USCIS with no updates in sight, they got permission to process our I130 application for humanitarian reasons, and it was like we had moved to a different universe. They respond to emails within a day, if not 30 minutes, and bend over backwards to help with the process. The interview was just a friendly chat -I was glad I had the opportunity to thank the staff for their help in person. <3
