Rating:  | Review Topic: K1 Visa
Medical: easy but long. make sure you get all possible shots before you go (MMR and tetanus) because its super expensive to get even just one there (I had all vaccines, except for one of the MMR - which is a 3-vaccine shot.. they charged me like 50 euros extra). Other than that, the doctors are really nice.
Interview: I had 2 J-1 visas before, and one of them had the 2 year rule on it. The advisory opinion said i wasnt subject, but the consular officer wasnt satisfied because the visa said otherwise. Fortunately, I also had a no objection statement from the Italian Embassy in DC saying they didnt care whether I had the 2-year rule on it or not - when I remembered I had brought that letter, everything went smoothly and the consular officer only asked a couple of quick questions and was really really nice and understanding.
