Review Topic: K1 Visa

I arrived at the embassy about 30 minutes before my appointment. I was taken straight through security and went inside to wait in line for window G where I had to drop off my documents. After dropping off my paperwork I had to wait about 20 minutes or so before being called for my interview. The interview was very simple and took about 5-10 minutes. I was asked: where did I meet my fiancé, when did we first meet in person, when have we seen each other after that, what do I like about my fiancé and when/where are we having the wedding. I was then told that my visa was approved and I would receive it within 10 working days -- WOHO! javascript:emoticon('') The man interviewing me was very friendly and made me feel relaxed and at ease. It was a good experience overall and I was in and out of the embassy in about one hour.

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

October 20th.

I walked up to the building, and at first I had trouble finding the immigration line, but it's there. A sign in front of the other non-immigration line. I arrived earlier than my appointment, at around 8:10. Was called up to the security window and both me and my daughter who I had with me, took our jackets off. Very kind security guards. Since I didn't want to walk through Stockholm without a bag, I did bring a bag with me, wide enough to fit my documents. There were no problems, I just showed them the inside of the bag before I was let in for the secondary security check (like the airport kind). Gave my cell phone to them and received a card for the return of my phone. Followed the yellow line, went into the embassy. Sat down at a table, but soon my name was called up to window A. Spoke to a kind young lady, she was Swedish but we spoke English anyway. I gave her the documents she wanted, wasn't much. The marriage certificate was probably the most import... read complete review

Review Topic: K1 Visa

Me and my fiancé arrived pretty early to the embassy, around 7:50 I believe. My interview was at 8:30 but we saw so many people walking up to stand in line that we decided to do the same. I ended up being first in line though, as all the people we saw were there for non-immigrant purposes. While the K-1 visa says it's a non-immigrant visa you're not supposed to stand in that line. You need to stand in the line for immigrants and us citizens.

Eventually I was called up to the guard station where I had to show my passport through the window. The guard checked to see that I was on the list and then I had to take off my cardigan, spin around and show the bottoms of my shoes and wait for a little bit before I was let in. I had left my electronics with my fiancé who was waiting in the car, so I didn't have to leave anything with the guards. Everything else that I had brought with me (all my documents, my cardigan and my shoes) had to be put on a tray and go through an X-ray ... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

I had my appointment scheduled for 8:30 am but I got there already at 7:45 since I heard that they tell everyone the same appointment time. I was first in the Immigration visa line and was let in about 5 min after arriving. I had to leave my cell phone and head phones with the security guard before going in. After some waiting I could go up to window G and I was asked to leave my passport. About 15 min after I was called up again and they asked for my birth certificate, police record and proof of the relationship. I gave them a booklet of pictures, a copy of our lease agreement, a bank statement showing joint account and some hand written letters. The lady asked some questions and then told me to wait for my interview.

About 15 min after that I was called up to have my interview. I took the oath, did my finger prints and had my interview. It went by quickly and the officer was very nice. It was questions like: Where did you meet, how long before you got married, did his ... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

I had my interview at 830am, but was there early.
After standing in the immigrant visa line (the one not looking like a busstop) the security guard told me to go there. This was at about 745am. After going through security and leaving my phone with them (no electronics are allowed in) I walked in to the building. Went right away to window G and gave them my passport.
After that I sat down for about 15 min and then heard my name to go to another window. She asked for all original papers (US marriage cert, birth cert, police report, the document delivery pdf) and asked just a few simple questions.
After this I sat down again for about 10 min until I heard my name to have my interview. Swore an oath, took fingerprints and the man started asking questions. None that were hard to answer, just be honest and you will be fine. He asked how we met, how he proposed, why live over there and not here, what I wanna do there, what I like about him.
He looked at some of t... read complete review
