Joel&Julia
Rating:  | Review Topic: K1 Visa
We arrived at the embassy at 8:15 for our 8:30 appointment. There was a short wait outside the door, then we were ushered in through the X-ray scanner and metal detector. We had left mobile phones etc at the hotel, so there were no issues with security.
After passing security we reached the reception desk, and the receptionist checked our appointment confirmation sheet then gave us a number and directed us to the waiting area. We noticed that most of the officers spoke Ukrainian, Russian and English.
After taking a number, We were called to the first window right away, but they only took our documents at the first window, then we waited again. After about an hour wait the number was called again to another window for the actual interview. That officer asked us a few easy questions, especially emphasizing the Domestic Abuse pamphlet, but also easy questions like "are you looking forward to the warm weather in Texas?" Then he told us the visa was approved and Julia's passport would arrive in about a week. The actual interview took about 5 minutes, and we were at the embassy about 2 hours in total. It was a nice, easy finish to a long process.
