Review Topic: K1 Visa

My interview was scheduled at 9.30AM. When I arrived at around 9AM, there was no queue at the security gate (i guess most people scheduled for early morning appointments were already inside) so the security guard just directed me straight up to the intake window. There, the lady asked for my passport and my appointment confirmation print-out. After handing them over, she checked that I was indeed on the list for the day, returned my passport back to me and buzzed me in. Once inside, I was asked to leave my purse including other loose items in my pockets such as mobile phone and car keys. I was then asked to pass through a body detector and was patted down on the other side. I was then directed to exit the security gate, walk a few yards across the lawn towards the entrance to the main building.

Once inside the main building, I passed through one more body detector and then the guard gave me a token based on the visa type i was interviewing for. I was inside the main bu... read complete review

Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa

It was a less busy day at the embassy.

For Immigrant visas typically 20 groups/individuals are booked on one day. The documents submitting etc tends to take time. For instance i was number 15 on the day and it took 2hours 10 mins for my turn as there were some groups of 2 to 4 people before me and each persons' docs are collected and finger printing done.

I was last person in the embassy at about 11 when my turn came. Got asked a lot of questions:

Prev marriage, details on meeting husband, 1st meeting, second meeting, all other loads of meetings. On his occupation, his kids school name (bad shortterm memory didnt remember) their grades, wedding pictures, details of my and his prev marriage, my education, details of my education etc etc.

All okay in the end. Told ppt will arrive in 5 days.

😍

Edited to add the second day my courier arrived at Empost with my visa stamped and sealed pack... read complete review

We came at the embassy at 7am. Appointment time is 8am. 7:30am embassy guard started directing applicants to the window to show your appointment letter, passport, and ds 160 confirmation page.

Then she went inside and i waited outside. She told me she went inside and somebody collected her documents such as police clearance, medical, affidavit of support then on to finger printing.

She then went to a room and the male consular officer was there. She was asked 3 questions: what do you do?, how long have you been in UAE?, and how did you meet your fiance? She answered all the questions appropriately then CO said ok you are approved, congratulations! You can pick up your passport and visa at empost in 2-3 days.

The consul did not even ask for any additional proof of bonafide relationship like recent whatsapp messages, skype, pics, etc.. I was surprised because all they had was the stuff I sent with the original k1 application.
