My appointment was at 11am, and I got to the embassy at around 10:15am. The queue was very long and I had joined the back however a couple minutes later a lady who worked for the embassy was walking along the queue asking if we had checked in. As I hadn’t (I didn’t see any signage to suggest this) I walked up to the check in desk (which is outside), gave them my passport and DS-160 confirmation page and told them I was applying for a K1.
She then let me skip the queue!! I joined another very small one, the security man asked for me to unlock my phone and then showed me inside to a security scanner. I went through and then exited this building to go up to the next one to join another queue. This one didn’t take long at all and at the desk I gave them my passport and my DS-160 confirmation page, she told me to take the elevator up to the first floor and wait by the booths that were shown on my ticket.
I waited around 15 minutes and was called up to the first booth, the man asked for:
- Passport
- Birth certificate
- Police certificate
- Affidavit of support + supporting evidence
- Visa/Passport style photos
He also took my fingerprints.
He then asked me if both my fiancé or I had ever been married, if I was adopted or if I’d ever changed my name. He also asked me how we met. He gave me a copy of my medical results and then asked me to sit back down.
Another 20 minutes or so passed and I was called up to a different booth with a lovely American woman who asked me to swear an oath (I held my hand up and said “I agree” to the fact everything I said was true) checked my fingerprints again and asked me how me and my fiancé met, and how he proposed. She then gave me back my birth certificate and my police certificate, said everything looked good and that my visa was approved!
All in all it was a very smooth process and I didn’t really have to wait long at all. It was very busy but the staff were lovely and they run a very organised place!
