My experience at the consulate was a smooth one. The interviewer was friendly and professional and even though I was stressed and nervous, he made me feel calm. Got asked a couple of questions, and was told my visa was granted. Happy with the consulate and the result!

Interview Date for K-1 Visa.... We waited for the police clearance, was originally told it would take 6-8 weeks and it only took 2... Had to wait a few weeks over due to courier error. The day after we got the police clearance, the consulate made our interview date for 6 DAYS LATER! This created a time crunch, but we are happy to press forward so quickly. The medical appt was made for the next day, knowing it was a time crunch, they squeezed us in (Thank goodness!) Our main contact at consulate has been responsive and kept good communication. Very pleased with his work. This consulate seems efficient however lacks a bit on the technology side. Email communication has been inconsistent and poor in quality. Otherwise a GREAT experience so far... Will see how the ACTUAL interview goes. Fingers crossed we continue with a good experience.

The interview was very straightforward, but make sure all your documents are in order. My husband was asked about me, my daughter and our co-sponsors. He felt there was some race discrimination though, ie old white South Africans without police clearances treated very nicely, while younger African men without same treated very harshly.

Hi there,
(Im hoping my review will help those seeking more information, as i know how stressful this process can be)
Well here is how my interview went.....
I stayed at the hotel across the street from the embassy, which gave me easy access to the embassy and they are really not that expensive considering the area.
At 12:30 i waited outside the embassy, they have chairs there where you are welcome to wait. At exactly 1 pm they tell everyone to form a line, you are asked to show your passport a swell as your interview letter. (no, sharp hair pins, usb flash drives,laptops or ipads are allowed inside)
Once you enter you go through security one by one...
you enter the next building where you will be seated either infront of window 10 or 11.
Now you wait till your surname (last name) is called. Once you are called the person asks you any missing documents you did not submit, as well as... read complete review

This is how my day went on the day of my interview for my K-1 Visa, I hope this helps, if not, please send me a private message or email me if you need to know anything more...
I arrived at the US Embassy about 12:50pm, I had to sit outside and wait until 1pm - this is the time they open. Once it was 1pm, the security guards asked all that were waiting outside to line up. We lined up and they checked our appointment letters (make sure you have this out). They then ask you to switch your cell phone off and allow one person at a time go through the first door. Once you get inside the security area, put your cell phone and any other electronic device into a "bin" to go through the scanner with your handbag (if you are a lady  ), you then walk through the body scanner and pick up your bag on the other side. They give you a big see-through and white number that you give back once you finished with your interview to get your cellphone etc back.
