Consulate
1. Your passport is checked against your appointment schedule.
2. You follow a well-marked route to a queue with you at the back end of it. This is the token window. At this window, you are asked for your passport and queried about your choice of language for the interview. This done, a token is allocated against your name. Your token number is called and you are advised to move to one of the 16 windows.
3. At this second window (first being the token window!); you are asked for your passport, a copy of support document (for K1); birth certificate, divorce decree (if applicable).
Expect some questions about you and your spouse.
You are asked to wait.
Your token number is called and you move to the specified window for the consular interview.
If the relationship is genuine, you need not worry. Just keep with you all the relevant documents and a copy for each original.
Time at the interview window: 7-8 minutes.
Usual airport style security check.
The officer was professional and polite. Appointment was for 7:30 am and out of there by about 8:15 am.
Questions that I was asked:
Have you ever been to America?
Where did we meet?
Fiance's hobby.
Show photographs
Have you ever spoken with any of the fiancé's children or friends?
VAC
1. Got there 40 minutes before time. At 30 minutes before scheduled appointment time, some of us were let in after scrutiny of the appointment confirmation letter/printout.
2. Leave all electronics outside, including smart watches. They scan you.
3. You follow a well-marked route in and out of the VAC. Just follow sign boards and human instructions.
