Rating:  | Review Topic: K1 Visa
My fiance had his interview here in Jerusalem for the K-1 Visa. He said it was super easy and he did not wait long. There are "two" interviews...the first person speaks to you in Hebrew (or Arabic) and makes sure all of your paperwork is there. The one thing that was weird is that they ask you to go outside to open your medical exam results. We were told not to open them and that a consulate officer is supposed to open it. My fiance was confused and asked him if he is sure he is supposed to open it and the officer said yes..please step outside, open them and come back in. Kind of strange but it was fine.
Then the main interview was done in English and was super quick. He only asked my fiance 3 questions: 1) how did you two meet? 2) when was the last time you saw each other? 3) what does your fiance do for a living? That was it. He then said "you'll receive your visa in 2 weeks" and my fiance was confused at first if he got approved because the officer was very casual about it but yes he was approved 
The only problem is that they said he would receive it in 2 weeks and instead he received it 4 weeks. His interview was December 7th and there was Hanukkah and Christmas and New Years so they must have been short-staffed and also my fiance was in a vey specialized unit in the military so it is possible that they needed extra approval and the person who gives final authorization was on vacation so we had to wait longer.
Other than that, it was very quick, he was in and out and in 1.5 hrs and got his visa 1 month later...arriving tomorrow and couldn't be more excited!
