Rating:  | Review Topic: K1 Visa
My appointment was at 11:30am, as they usually are. I got there by 11am and asked if it was too early to go inside. They told me it was fine and checked that I was on the list. I went through security, where they only kept my phone. They let me go inside with my big purse, which had a water bottle and candy (I really thought they would take those away from me...). They sent me upstairs, where the actual embassy is. There wasn't anybody in the first room, so I awkwardly waited for like 10 seconds as I was unsure what to do. A lady asked me why I was there and handed me a paper with a number (btw they treat k1s as an immigrant visa). They also asked for my passport and attached a thingy to it.
I waited in the next room with maybe 3 more people. I was called shortly after, like 3mins. They checked all my paperwork and handed me all originals I had submitted. This took like 15mins since apparently the heat and hot water are broken and employees are rightfully angry about it (I could hear everything they were saying behind the window).
They told me to sit down again. I was called like 5mins later for the interview. Interview was like 3mins. They asked me how i met my fiance, when and why we went the k1 router, instead of "just getting married", and whether I had been arrested or married before. I said no to both. She took my fingerprints and handed me a paper that said to wait for my visa in 4-6 business days. And that was it! I was out by 11:40am.
I should be giving it 4 stars because heat and hot water are broken and that delayed my approval by 10mins. And also, they should have heat and hot water! Fix it! :P (seriously though, experience was great - everyone was nice and everything went very smoothly).
