Rating:  | Review Topic: K1 Visa
We arrived the Saturday before the document entry appointment on a Tuesday. On Monday we completed the medical exam and the ASC appointment and it all went smoothly and quickly. The document check appointment was painless and spent more time in line. All appointments are first come first serve, so there is no penalty to showing up early if that’s what you would prefer. It seems like the earlier you show up the quicker you get through. The interview its self was also very straightforward. The consular officer asked the petitioner’s name, current address, current job, current location (in that moment), wedding plans, and he was approved.
We waited in Juarez to receive the visa. He was approved by 10am Wednesday and we were notified by 1pm Friday that the visa had been printed and was ready to be picked up. We picked it up at the ASC office and crossed the border by foot on the bridge of the americas from Juarez to El Paso and flew out of El Paso airport. There was no line at the pedestrian crossing to process the k1 visa. It was very straight forward and they were familiar with the visa and the protocol. We crossed around 9:30 am on a Saturday- we took an Uber to the bridge, walked across and took an Uber to the airport. Overall this was the easiest part of the whole k1 visa process. Just make sure you have original copies of the petitioner’s birth certificate and divorce certificate if it is applicable.
