Rating:  | Review Topic: K1 Visa
I am writing this in June - 6 mos after interview - finally getting around to it. Showed up early (6:30 AM I believe)- embassy opens at 7AM. Overall very well organized but impersonal process - so many people they herd you around here and there - oh well at least they were efficient. Initially they separated everybody depending on what you were there for. There are a bunch of windows - kind of like a bank. HUGE waiting area/courtyard with food and bathrooms. All the K1's were sent to a certain part of the waiting area. Called us to a window pretty quickly to look at our paperwork - apparently just to make sure everything there and in order. Then we had to wait for 2 or 3 hours for the actual interview. During this time we observed other couples. Most of the women were accompanied by their American fiance/spouse. Sometimes they would speak to the guy, sometimes not. We happened to be sitting for those 2 - 3 hours right in front of the window that we eventually got called to so I'm sure the person had time to notice us and it is obvious we are a couple in love. This, I believe, worked in our favor because the interview was very short, they guy was very friendly and relaxed. I went to the window with Jennifer but he did not ask to talk to me. It was over in less than 3 minutes and we were on our way. This was a Friday so we were told to come back Monday for the visa...
