Rating:  | Review Topic: K1 Visa
My fiancée, an OFW (overseas Filipina worker) followed all of the instructions to the letter. When she arrived at AIT, she went through security without a problem. Then to the first screener, the one everybody is terrified of. She scrutinized the documents and found them to be in perfect order. She was then sent to the final interviewer. He was extremely nice to her. She was asked the same question many times throughout the interview. He was satisfied and is granting her visa.
My fiancée, being a Filipina, did not experience any discrimination from the Taiwanese people, in or out of the embassy, ever. She has always been treated with the utmost respect and she demonstrates the same.
My suggestions are:
1. Make sure it's a real relationship. The embassy is really screening for the fakes.
2. Ensure your documents are in order. AIT provides you a list, follow it precisely.
3. Treat the staff the way you want to be treated.
That's it. It's all common sense once you get to this stage. I'd like to mention the appointment prior to my fiancée's showed up with the wrong size pictures. The embassy interviewer directed that girl across the street, with instructions, then allowed her back in to complete her K1 interview.
Overall, the AIT experience was very professional.
UPDATE:
AIT says 3-5 business days to process if approved. Do not count on that. We did get it but it took a little longer. Originally, they switched us to "Administrative Processing" which can take up to 60 days. Do not make travel arrangements until that visa is in hand.
