Rating:  | Review Topic: K1 Visa
Just wanted to give anyone waiting for the Paris interview a heads up if you are curious since we had ours 2/7/07. It was pretty much what the other French VJer's mentioned.
Fiance went to Dr Meyers, she's next to the embassy so my fiance went and to pick up his medical paperwork there before heading to the interview. (His medical appointment was three days prior but he had to take one vaccination so she told him to return after it was administered in order to give him the completed paperwork. Also, please remember to get a copy of the DS-3025 vaccination form from the doctor - it'll be important for the AOS application later on).
At the embassy, the lady who takes your paperwork took our I-134 instead of the I-864 after looking at both. She was joking around with him a bit in sort of a dry humor way. There were two other K-1's there and the french orchestra trying to get a visa for their tour, so it's very noisy inside. It is the immigration booth you go to and not nonimmigration - they consider the K-1 as an immigrate visa even though it is technically a nonimmigrate visa. He waited about an hour and a half before talking to the officier. First he made him give the oath verbally - "You swear that you intend to marry .... within 90 days." He asked him about - any issues between our age difference (4 years), how we met, my religion, type of marriage ceremony we would be having - religious vs civil, how my family felt, where the town I lived was located. Then said we had everything and it was ok, took his passport and chronopost. My fiance noticed that since he spoke in english he was asked more questions than the previous guy who spoke in french with the officier (two questions only) - officier spoke in broken french and the other guy didn't understand english well.
