Fiancé applied in his country of residence, which is different from his country of origin. According to fiancé, interview was quick and easy. Being a national of a ‘high-fraud’ country didn’t seem to have any bearing on his case. He arrived at the embassy a little ahead of time and showed the interview letter to the officer. The officer had him go to a corner to open the sealed medial envelope in front of him (no sealed envelopes allowed) and he went through airport style security. No electronics allowed, but contrary to what they tell you, there is a space you can store a small cell phone. After going in he waited 5-10 minutes to be called to the counter. The women asked for all of our documentation so he handed her the big packet of everything we prepared. She found and selected what she needed herself and took almost everything except for our proof of relationship. He was then told to wait and he waited 45 minutes or so to be called in for the interview. Th... read complete review

My interview was at 9:30 AM, with the prospect of coming back in the afternoon for the actual interview.
I arrived at the embassy 15min before the interview. There was a line of 30-50 people (It is student visa season). I had some issues to find out where to go, as the inventation states to not wait in line.
I went through the "US Citicen and Immigrant Visa" line and showed my invitation to security. They went inside and came back asking me to open my medical envelope. I did and was let in through security.
Security is its own little building outside the embassy, they take phones, food and other small things and give you a number for pick up. Then you walk out of security and into the embassy building.
At the entrance is a bathroom and a drinking fountain. I went all the way to the back for "Visa" and waited in line with everyone else. When it was my turn I told her I was here for the K1 Visa and she made me sit down while she informed her co... read complete review

Although my visa category is different I hope the review will help others in future.
There was a queue outside the embassy but most of them were for visitor visa. There was a separate line for immigrant visa but no one before us as our interview as at 9.30. Standard security procedure, only difference I found was that they did keep mobile phones in an open shelf and give a token to collect it during exit. No other electronic devices are allowed.
Inside, our originals were collected at the window. Within few minutes we and few other immigrant visa applicants were told to come back in the afternoon for the interview which as a bit surprising. Anyway, in the afternoon, only the immigrant visa holders were present so not many people inside. At our turn standard questions were asked. The computer system was out of order (upgrading to new system) so we were told leave all our originals behind along with passports.
For anyone who has any unmarried ... read complete review

I expected it to be way more stressful. Great thing was, there was no other person there but me, so I had no lines or such.
At the first window a lady wanted all the documents I had to bring in, so she reviewed and asked 2-3 questions about it.
Once she finished she explained the next steps of the visa, once I enter the country, how much time it will take at my layover, etc.
Then she sent me to the next window and the officer talked to me about our relationship.
He asked me several questions about how we met, how long ago, when my mother met him the first time, when our wedding will be,
where he works, what his job is, how long he's been with this company, where my typical layovers are, etc.
It wasn't more than 10-15 minutes, and he said they'd send me all documents and visa back next Tuesday.
K1 usually takes 2 days of processing time, not like other visas he said.
Very friendly staff, great experiences, and felt lucky to be ther... read complete review
