Review Topic: K1 Visa

My fiancée arrived 10 minutes Before the suggested time of 7:30am, 1/2 hour before they open the building. There was already a line, and it was raining. Demonstrating compassion not normally observed in Government workers, the
Embassy opened the doors early and allowed the line to come in out of the rain. The process within was typical of a government run facility. Take a number, wait for your number to be called, proceed to ( ) window, surrender [ ] documents, please sit back down and wait to be called again, etc...
After a couple of laps around the interior 'window shopping', it was my fiancée's turn for the interview. She was given the option of being interviewed in English or Korean. The Consulate interviewer was an American born Korean, and so spoke both languages fluently. My fiancée chose English, and just a few questions later, she was done. The Second (2nd) folder of additional relationship evidence was neither needed or accepted. Perhaps having it w... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

My fiancé was there at 7:30am. She was the first in line to get interviewed and she was in and out within one hour. The doors open at 8am and they apparently check your bags as if you were at the airport. After you get inside they checked my fiance's passport on the first floor. You have to surrender your cell phone. Then you go up to the 2nd floor and they check your passport again and put a barcode on it. You then go up to the 3rd floor and take a number. Since my fiancé was the first one there she was number 1. Then she waited until 8am when the office officially opened. At 8am they took her papers and she sat back down. After 30 minutes she was called for fingerprinting and then told to sit back down again. Another 30 minutes went by and she was called to the consul for her interview! It literally lasted less than 10 minutes with her just asking "Where is he from?" And "When did you meet him?" And "Where does he work?" And "When was the last time you saw him?" Very easy questions... read complete review

The wait was a little long, but the interview went smoothly. It took about ten minutes.

Review Topic: Waiver/Admin Review

We interviewed on October 10th 2014, and were put into administrative review. Our case officer told us she would call us that afternoon with an answer after they spoke with Korean immigration about my husband, but they never called. They have not provided us with an additional information and the only email reply we have gotten are automated replies stating most cases are completed in 60 days.

My anger is that they let us leave with a time frame in mind and then never bothered to say anything again regarding what the extended admin processing is about. I've had to extend my visa in Korea and my husband's is about to run out and we have no idea what will happen if we have to leave before we get an answer.
