After the embassy got our packet from nvc they emailed the beneficiary packets 3 and 4. After paying the $240 visa fee she made an appointnent online. There were many options from ten days out to over a month. We set it for a month out and worked on finalizing our paperwork. She called doctor Dennis the next day and set an appointment for two days before the k1 interview. The medical is split into two parts. First a blood and x ray taken at a clinic that is only open m-f 7-10am. We got there are 630 and there was already a line. Get there early! The second appointment was with the doctor in the afternoon. He went over basic medical questions. At te doctors office they have us an extra copy of the immunization sheet and X-ray. She would recommend the doctor. Although his office was hard to find as its in a medical center that is large. Again get there early.
She had a 730 am interview. We arrived at 7 and proceeded to gate three outside the embassy. It had no line compared to the other numbers. At the gate someone have us a paper that laid out the required documents and how to order them. We handed him the required information. He flipped through it and handed it back and told us to continue through security. Once through k visas are administered at a different window from the other windows. They will direct you. They review your packet in two stages. The first person my fiancé spoke to tool her papers had her sign them and made sure it was all filled out. After the initial approval they have you sit by the coffee stand and you wait. After 20-30 min They called her name over the loudspeaker which is hard to hear. At the window was the consular officer and I was allowed to approach unlike earlier. He was typing a lot and asked a few basic questions. Where you meet. What does he do. He was very nice but did speak fast and did not leave much time for thinking. Also we brought with us more evidence o a relationship but he never asked for it. I guess being there and out initial packet was good enough. We were out at 845. 😀
Please see my fiancées write up here Hola!!!! VISA APROBADA!!!!!! estamos felices! La verdad es que todo el proceso desde que llegas a la embajada es muy fácil. Mi cita era a las 7:30 , nosotros llegamos a las 7:00 y éramos los terceros en la fila, vayan directamente a la fila 3, que es la de visas k1. Nos dieron un papel para organizar los documentos, pasamos la puerta de seguridad, pueden llevar celulares. Después de eso ellos te dicen en que ventanilla hacer fila para que te revisen los documentos, una vez ahí, una señora les va a pedir las formas y se las van a hacer firmar, pregunta cosas básicas como el correo, teléfono, si has estado en US... Luego te hacen sentar y como aprox en 20 min llaman por el
Nombre, como mi novio estaba conmigo entonces el se acerco conmigo, el cónsul fue amable, me pregunto, como había conocido mi novio, cuantas veces el me había visitado, en que trabaja, luego pidió hable con mi novio solo para preguntarle más acerca de lo que el hace, luego me paso el tel y me hizo jurara q todo lo que había dicho en las formas era verdad, me tomo las huellas y finalmente me dijo mucha suerte en los Estados Unidos, su visa ha sido aprobada. Honestamente niñas todo paso tan rápido y fue tan fácil que no me la creo el pasaporte supuestamente llega en 14 días.
